I am a locky keeper
I work upon the Thames
Don’t ask me what my hours are
just say they never end
However I don’t mind at all
I`m happy in my job
For me there is no better way
To live and make a bob
I`ve done it now for thirty years
me and my faithful spouse
Tending to my locky gates
In my locky house
But now the `bean counters` come
He wants to chuck me out
An it`s no use me complaining
Cos I aint got no clout
The river it keeps rolling on
And though it`ll never stop
It is a fact, the bottoms now
much closer to the top
The EA they don’t want to know
When I voice my fears
It has no understanding
And it`s got no ears.
I can’t withdraw my labour
There’s things that must be done
But I remember yesteryear
When working here was fun
So I must grin and bear it
and it seems such a shame
That now I`m just a number …..
where once I was a name
……

We don't hear often enough from you Sam but when we do it is priceless 
You'd better be at Ashmount for the Forum Rally in May otherwise I will vandalise your boat

Nice one!
A career change may be profitable

The scourge of Windsor, and notorious founder member of the 'Upper Thames Birchwood Massive' now outlawed by the EA and River pressure groups, currently planning a nice comfy retirement in the aft cabin of a Broom.
Now can anybody recommend any non-marking slippers?

That's one way of making sure Eileen McKeever gets to see it.
