He is a locky keeper
of that there is no doubt.
but even then, the EA bods
think they can kick him out

Remember the EA?
You pay them loads each year,
and if you gave them half as much
you'll still think it was dear.

The EA know their way
around the pointy end,
but of a pencil, not a boat
they drive us round the bend

They talk of 'Defra'
'Running costs' and 'economic cuts'
But you don't see those feckers
working out of wooden huts

Nor is their head office
going to be short,
of cretins wielding biros
who don't know left from Port.

But when the rains a cometh
and the river runneth fast
and houses flood or people die
they'll all be so aghast...

wishing they could turn back time
when things were not so rocky
and maybe they would reconsider
how they treat our Locky.

Keep him in the house
they built those years ago
Let him tend the garden,
The lock and river flow

For no-one does it better
is there all Night and Day
or knows quite how the River works
in the whole EA.




To all you Lock keepers

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?
