Inspired by Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) of 14 April 2023, caveat.
A conversation I felt I had to have with my local council this week.
On my doorstep, the councillor grinned,
I stood back, wond’ring where to begin,
“Though your taxes dismay,
I’d be happy to pay,
Just so long as you empty my bin.”

Strike, or did they miss you?

They emptied the recycling bin but left the cardboard by the side of it – which was too large to fit in the bin.

Well, yes. I told them it was outside the house on the street. That’s my part, done.

Love to see a sharp dude cleverly disguise political heat in humor. Too bad many don’t take time to understand and let the message seep in so they might take action. Then again, many don’t even read. Can they read? Good’n.

Never been one came out to see me in 25 years living here! Safe seat – one parts gets elected no matter how incompetent they are. No point voting.

Never used to think like that; I do now. What’s the point? It’s all lies, I tell you! Lies!

No rule against an individual with a full brain, common sense, and a smidge of morality running, is there? Hmm. And if friends, acquaintances, and neighbors feel the same, one could get one’s self elected and view problems from another angle. And, um, is there any pay associated with the position? Hmm?
