The Locky Keeper

[Sammo]

I am a locky keeper
I work upon the Thames
Don’t ask me what my hours are
just say they never end

However I don’t mind at all
I`m happy in my job
For me there is no better way
To live and make a bob

I`ve done it now for thirty years
me and my faithful spouse
Tending to my locky gates
In my locky house

But now the `bean counters` come
He wants to chuck me out
An it`s no use me complaining
Cos I aint got no clout

The river it keeps rolling on
And though it`ll never stop
It is a fact, the bottoms now
much closer to the top

The EA they don’t want to know
When I voice my fears
It has no understanding
And it`s got no ears.

I can’t withdraw my labour
There’s things that must be done
But I remember yesteryear
When working here was fun


So I must grin and bear it
and it seems such a shame
That now I`m just a number …..
where once I was a name

We don't hear often enough from you Sam but when we do it is priceless /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

You'd better be at Ashmount for the Forum Rally in May otherwise I will vandalise your boat /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

That's one way of making sure Eileen McKeever gets to see it.
