As I was walking around the country, I saw things I don’t like. Not all the people are taking care. Which car or lorry took a big chunk out of the hedge? Who lost a mask? It is beside the road, but there’s no house nearby. Why is there a plastic food box in a field? Was it blown by the wind or did somebody drop it? What is that smell – like tar? Ah, I know! Workmen painted some black liquid on lots of telegraph poles. They had to close roads from time to time. See the sign: road closed.
