The Laneway Lament

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

Here I am, back in town
After eight months of absence
Some things have visibly changed
Most other things have really not
I'm on Quality Street at Bocky Boo's

Here I am, back in town
After eight months of absence
Some things have visibly changed
Most other things have really not
I'm on Quality Street at Bocky Boo's
Trying to enjoy an ice cream and coffee
While I'm counting 56 cars in 15 minutes
Crawling through the Laneway
Looking for that one elusive free car park
That is in front of everything
But none of them are actually stopping
They all come out the other end
Just driving through because they can
My ice cream tastes like diesel
And my ears are ringing from
All the rumbling engines and blaring rap
The next batch of City Elders
Is getting ready to take over
More of the same that hasn't been working
Maybe I'll come back in five or ten years
Once insanity is gone
And enlightenment has taken its place…
