Arrested development, life on hold. Investment deterioration... High Street trade goes cold. Can we have our ball back mister? Progress halted; ambitions run dry. Ineptitude personified So up goes the cry… Can we turn the clock back? Lorry parks overrun, trucking overspills, paperwork’s not valid mate, shortage at the tills. Unemployment running rife... go on... Can’t we just have another run at life? Too many negatives converging all at once. Should’ve delayed departure Covid, Brexit… Extend the talks! Ineptitude • Handbrake turn before the exit? No! This is like a yellow box so no! Do not enter unless your exit’s clear! Can we have our ball back mister? Can we turn the clock back? Can we have another run at life? Too late goes up the cry… you’re disaffected. Should’ve been better informed by the people at the sharp end; the people at the top… Ever felt dejected... 1- 2 - 3 - 4... take it from the top! No! Can we have our ball back mister? Can we turn the clock back? Can we have another run at life? Sorry say the throng… we didn’t really mean them to get it THIS bleeding wrong!
