The Pothole Song..!
Have you ever looked closely at a pothole? There are plenty around, so do so now, they’re actually huge singing mouths, different shapes and sizes, with jagged ends which are teeth and if you lean even farther you’ll hear their voices singing away quite lustily; the ‘Pothole Song’: Listen to the words:
We love you oh dear people, because you do love us
Allowing us each monsoon, to exist without a fuss!
We love the way you groan and moan,
And gasp with pain as we break each bone
We love the way you slip into us,
And slip out again without a fuss!
Every year, when clouds do come
We hear you ho, we hear you hum,
‘No holes this year’ we hear you yell
‘No potholes this year’ your mayor does tell
We see you smile, but we Potholes know
That this all an ‘Annual Show’
And then when the first raindrops fall
And you stare from mansion or house so small
There we are waiting out for you
Potholes old and potholes new
We hear you shout, we hear you yell
We hear you raising merry hell
But heart of hearts we all do know
That yours is just an annual show
A little scared we were this year
Of new technology that we did hear
When it would be applied on us
Would make us vanish without a fuss.
But the contractors, they loved us more
Mucked up the technique so much so
That now in every road and street
With yawning mouths we you do greet.
We love you dear Oh dear people, because you do love us,
Allowing us each monsoon, to exist without a fuss!
We love the way you groan and moan,
And gasp with pain as we break each bone
We love the way you slip into us,
And slip out again without a fuss!
So next time you fall into a pothole, listen closely, ever so carefully to the Pothole Song and since you know the words, just sing along as you scramble out..!
