The autumn chill
frisks up the leaves
Unravelling
Nature’s summer sleeves
Causing mulch
soaked by the rains
Hey Presto!
Lots of clogged road drains!
Our Sewer Workers must delve deep
To clear those
blocked pipes while we sleep;
They toil
in murky depths below
To regulate
the water flow.
24/7 they
must fight
Unhealthy
creatures* out of sight
Wading knee-high
in town waste:
So many
dangers to be faced …
Clean drinking
water – source of pride!
So, spare a
thought for those inside
The hidden
networks under streets
Who fix those cracks in pipes and leaks!
