Croeso i Cllitheroe (Welcome to Clitheroe)
On a day out in Clitheroe. with my dog on the bus,
I wondered on arriving why there was so much fuss.

It is against the law to ride an e-scooter on public roads !!
To buy an e-scooter can be tempting,
But the consequences you could be regreting.
You can buy one new or second hand,
But it can only be used on private land.
E-scooters are classed the same as cars ,
To be used on public roads they gain no stars.
They must be mot'd ,insured and comply with tax rates,
And illegal if they do not have proper number plates.

Swearing for teenage boys is an identity creation,
Forming social bonds with new friends avoiding isolation.
Taboo words are choosen related to religion ,sex or slur.
When they are not thinking at all,when suffering a brain blur.

When "us" and "them" rules get transmitted to their ears.

Death and our fate on The Day of Judgement
Life is a test which ends in death,
But not the end of our existence and last breath.
Our lives are divided into two parts.
A brief stay here and an eternal bliss as our soul departs.
An eternal bliss is far more beneficial in it's worth,
Than our short lived pleasures on this earth.
On our creation we were granted a freedom of choice,
But on our Day of Judgement our fate...

By He who is well versed in every kind of brilliant creation.
The necessity of life after death is what believers demand.

Alcohol is a bigger problem than we tend to admit,
It can destroy the clarity of our minds even consuming a little bit.
