The retail park  gave my mind  a great blow

I saw the parts of town where I don’t go
Old factories and shops too large for us
A retail park is different from Soho

The cars don’t respect Sunday any more
The fumes and dirty air  are our new curse
I saw the parts of town where I don’t go

Is it good for children to explore
Too soon their sexuality diverse?
A retail park should be different from Soho

Am I just an old man who deplores
The way   the adverts  make temptation worse
I saw the parts of town where I don’t go

We despise  a tart or an old whore
At least they are embodied,reimbursed
A retail park disturbs more than  Soho

Clutching my prescription in my purse
My mind was entertained by writing verse
I saw the places where I rarely go
The retail park  gave my mind  a great blow
