Dear sir, I write to complain.
No wonder our city still declines!
Unless a tourist has a map, they'll just get lost:
We require, in short, more signs!
No wonder our city still declines!
Unless a tourist has a map, they'll just get lost:
We require, in short, more signs!
With them, they'd find the tours
And the cafés, pubs and stores,
And they wouldn't have to keep asking me!
(Most deferentially yours....)
