THIEVES STEAL BRIDGE!
Outside-a newsagents I seen the eadlines
'THIEVES STEAL BRIDGE!'
sif this town wuz livin up
to its repewtation.
I thought of the missis
on er way ome down-a A470
an would she disappear
inta a chasm by Pentrebach?
Thought o my son goin swimmin
down Rhydycar an would ee
afta swim the river
jest t get t the Leisure Centre?
An my dad walkin is dog,
would ee think of it
as a big gap in is brain,
tha ee woz gettin dementia?
Thought o ones over main roads,
them A-shaped structures
don' seem t be going nowhere ;
nobuddy'd notice if they woz missin.
For once, I bought a paper
an they adn stole the whool thing,
jest loadsa iron bars.
Still, it got me thinkin.
