A poem as a tribute to the trees that were chopped by a council who disregarded opposition.

1. A poem
By Saltaire Trees

2. What would Sir Titus really
think,
About the actions of the few,
Who chopped our lovely
grand old trees,
And put busy roads in view?

3. We loved those trees that
shaded us,
And blossomed in the spring,
Where kids collected
conkers,
They did mean everything.

4. It is all about the symmetry,
It’s all about design,
It’s a council “spending
money quick!”
Who say “we’re running out
of time!”

5. But now we are
down-hearted,
Our air not quite so clean,
Yes, We can see the
buildings now,
But not tree-framed like
they’ve been…

6. We (like The Lorax) say,
Unless.
As Unless is all we’ve got
Stand up, turn up, sign up
And please change this
awful lot.
