Mob Rule

Plans were unveiled
The press informed
Residents muttered their doubts and fears
At meetings
A brace of councilors
Voiced concern
Some assent was murmured
There were Advisors and
An Expert Guidance had been sought
Whom to trust?
Who could know
Just what that meant:
Expert?
People are so ungrateful
It’s quite hard on Chairmen
Directors of Planning must be given
The right to make Plans
Just as say
The woodworm
Must bore
So too
Advisors must
Advise
