Do not get grumbly at the greeding combine,
Though that so long it waffles chaffy dust
All down the clifftop path and oe’r the beach
And, roarloud with blueing dieselguzzle,
Cringes nimby walkers
Eyeblink red and headjerk sneezy.
This yellowshuddering leviathan
Which unchallengable tyres the lane from verge to vetchpretty verge,
Annoying the arrogant overengined Audi
And ranting to redface right-wing splutter the having-to-reverse Range Rover:
Implacable, its intent on gathering bellyfuls of grain
So you, in your turn, all next year, might do the same.
