Aerials

 

In years past they possessed two shapes

one an X and the other a H

Today we look aloft to some like a farmers gate

now they arrive in all shapes and sizes

as new sophisticated models keep arising

I am intrigued by the variety of this new array

as new ones seem to appear every day

Strapped to the chimney of a nearby house

is one which resembles the cage of a mouse

Further along on the next road

is one similar to a lighting strobe

On the village square near to my relation

is one with the appearance of a tracking station

Some are like hideous contraptions

for mobile phones which have aroused passions

The latest invention is an underground cable

which will eventually all aerials disable
