A site visit today
we have travelled quite far
North, over the border
I’m bored sat in the car 

There’s not much of a view
a skip, vans and a crane
A cherry picker, a hoist
blocks wrapped in membrane

Robotic dinosaurs
stretch out, reach up and lift
Trundling around the site
they push, pull, shunt and shift

Men wearing white, hard hats 
and luminous jackets
Fix steel beams together 
with nuts, bolts and brackets 

The sun shines bright and strong 
in a pale, hazy sky 
The weekend forecast is good 
hot, sunny and dry 

The radio plays songs 
that take me far away 
Close my eyes for a while
dream of a holiday  

We are heading to Glasgow 
for a night or two 
Not the trip of my dreams 
but for now it will do
