I know the high street’s doing great,
Why would you require our custom?
Don’t try to mend that broken lift,
It’s forever since it broke down.
I know your workers’ jobs are safe;
I know the high street’s doing great,
Why would you let me look inside?
Bar all ‘disabled’ doors with crates.
Make sure there’s nothing in my size,
Tell us to go home, shop online,
I know the high street’s doing great,
You can afford to alienate
All those parents wheeling their young,
All those who cannot manage stairs,
Do without every one of them;
I know the high street’s doing great.

Another poetry challenge. I’m working through them as if they were chocolate bars.
Ah the sarcasm is so tangible. You use the repeating line well to build up the effect of the quatern. Really well written. 🙂
Thanks, I think it’s a case of finding the right form to say what I wanted to say. :)’
