After William Topaz McGonagall
Three cheers for the Wilsons, for I’m pleased to say
That Conington floods are held at bay
By the constricting pipe that they did lay
Under the bridge to Conington Hall
Now that floods are a thing of the past
All of the villagers look on aghast
At this construction, which cannot be surpassed
An example to one and all
Alas my friends I report with sadness
That all of this tremendous gladness
Was undone by meteorological madness
When the January rains did fall
So wondrous constriction I must conclude
That although your design is elegant and shrewd
Less flood stop, more flood stall
Barnaby Perks
