WELL DEVELOPED

Level the fields

mark them out

provide an entry roundabout

 

put up flags

design the plots

split the haves from the have nots

 

put in some clouds

a distant view

just to remind us of times gone by

 

when rural ways

were justified

with no developers satisfied

 

expand your online catalogue

never mind the waterlog

where you can you always will

 

crunch some numbers

do your rhumbas

 

stake your claims

be inventive offer incentive

 

sell for rent

with signed consent

never relent your vowed intent

 

to build on business acumen

exploit or die

remodel the lie

exaggerate to captivate

 

people will come

and when they do

weeds will come

 

but they will heed them

birds will condescend to feeders

captive owners pleased to feed them.

Thanks Phillipa, Po, Brian and Itsjustmedownhere for your interest!

Glad you like it Don - your time is my rhyme.

Thank you Jennifer as always! Depressing sights so often with no variation, all worked out by CAD with a flurry of greedy bastards all PLOTTING to build the shit out of nature. That last couple of lines took some shoehorning!

Nice one, as usual Ray! It's heartbreaking sometimes when the developers get a foot in. I look on to fields and a wooded hill and they put that terrifying orange tape all along the road in front of this, but luckily it was only to build a bicycle track. Liked the birds condecsending to feed from captive owners.
