There's a tent city bent on springing up,
(who remembers the one at Waterloo?)
and
it'll fill with folk because
joke or not
this housing policy is what we've got,

the overspill, and that's a term to conjure with
won't go away, won't give up and so
they stay where they can,
( some with dreams in a can)
(some with dreams in a syringe)
some of you cringe
and?

most try to do what is best
while they wait
for a place on the waiting list
for the council estate.
