GK’s Peek at Drivetime's Week – 23/05/14

This week the news has been
About as varied as the weather
From complaints re: noise, to hay fever
We’ve had a lot to blether

Plus Rob has had his critics
Of some fancy dress he chose
So later you will get to hear
‘Bout other clothing woes

Still, a roundabout is blamed
For the chaos with the busses
And Tayto’s keen to make more crisps
(That’s one of this week’s plusses!)

But like our weather, news is mixed
Upon the sporting front
Our cricket team have lost, but Saints
Are surely worth a punt

And sticking with the great outdoors
Yes, sculptor Nick’s aglow
For the weather’s not held back his plans
For Chelsea’s flower show

Another thing to celebrate
Is trading’s back in gear
For Northants saw several thousand
Brand new businesses last year

And land fill tax is working
(Though folk cursed it as expense)
For the cost of our recycling
Now makes financial sense

And further out around the world
Ben’s fight ‘gainst waste is backed
The French have ordered trains too wide
And Ebay has been hacked

The housing boom is racing
Someone needs to tug the reins
And at last the question’s asked
Can mobiles damage children’s brains?

The Royal Mail accused
TNT of cherry picking
A sausage pipe will soon bring heat
And Suarez has stopped kicking!!

On Thursday it was polling day
The country set to voting
One wonders by the end of it
If UKIP will be gloating

And through the week the weather’s had
Its moments, as rain poured
And thunder rolled with lightening
Causing havoc and discord

But I think my final verse
Must remind folk it’s the sun
That’s most dangerous, ‘cos Rob’s been known
To leave his shirt undone…
