Tractor and taxi strikes – it shows
Brussels really cannot cope
Free-flowing rush hours? Not a hope!
The traffic jam – a way of life
Those accidents cause daily strife
The Ring is clogged from dawn till ten
At 4pm it starts again!
However, did I hear good news?
New Metro line? Should I enthuse?
The suburban network will expand
Long forgotten stations freshly manned!
But we so love our private car;
To give it up – a step too far?
So few huge car parks out of town
And yes, the STIB could let us down.
Quaint capital with winding streets
Pedestrian zone – no taxi fleets
Postcard pretty – Baroque feel
But modern city? Let's get real!
