Department Of Conservation Blues

Polytechnic swats outdoor educational
trail; ill-fated fallen fatalities fourteen;
like flies felled swatted in lethal spiral...
one sudden foul blast of Super-Mortein!

Sweeping eighteen off ascent
new scenic viewing platform;
maximum ten only sign absent...
another reason relatives mourn! Viewing platform!

Restructuring ignorant incompetence shorn...
by suffering shepherded public cover-up born!
'Like flies to wanton boys'
are we to vote craven MP's ploys!

Design faults? No! Scrimping
over; a (Bolger Joke!) : a twenty dollar bag of bolts!
Just more nails hammered into descending
public platform coffin! Apathetic appeasement sulks!

No responsibility ever accepted
for such sociological errors destructive! Criticisms rejected!

Is National Governmental Policy!

Their underfunding gets up everyone's nose! Eventually! Tragically!
