An Ode to Simon *Pilling
Said simple Simon* to the fire man, “those flames are getting higher”
Said the fire man to simple Simon* “we haven’t got a hope
Those IRMP plans you passed are really not a joke”
Said simple Simon*to the fireman –“ I don’t know what you mean
These cuts in staff and engines, it will make us slick and lean!”
Said the fire man to simple Simon* – “oh no you’ve got it wrong
With increased tavel time and less staff too – soon it will go all wrong”
This fire will spread, we have no staff to help us put it out
These cuts you love will kill a child, the politicians shout
“It wasn’t us it, was that man – he told us what to do
And Simon* got it wrong it seems – and now what shall we do?”
If Simon* wasn’t simple but a decent man with faith
We wouldn’t have to write this poem (And our homes would all be safe!)
