In Brussels this is understated
Craters, trucks and barricades
Chaos caused by digger spades!
Orange signs say «Déviation»
On every possible occasion,
The binmen struggle to go through
Caught up in the mayhem too.
New surfacing, new I.T. lines
Make parking difficult at times
Our main access road's a wreck
Please be careful where you step!
Place de Brouckère is much worse
Deep delving in the City purse,
Upheaval on a giant scale;
Passers-by leave muddy trail...
Across this wasteland, workmen swarm
Long summer days begin at dawn
Their actions all seem hit or miss
A World War bombsite looked like this!
