The Pool at Brookmill Close.
Does anybody care about the monstrous pool
That lurks above Brookmill Close?
Does anybody care when the tractors turn
And gouge out a deeper hole,
A hole that worsens and spreads each year,
When the growing season starts?

Does anybody care when the rights of way
Are blocked with the mossy mess,
when the hazard to health increases each hour
As the water encroaches around.

Will anybody care when a child falls in
and there's noone to see him fall,
When a person slips on the treacherous flood
And a life is blighted for all!

Does anybody care,does anybody care?
Only me ,it seems,poor fool!
