“I have rarely see such a beautiful garden.”
Said the asset stripper, on his post-bid visit.
And as he spoke his Gantt Chart mind
Had already set in train the wrecking ball.
The gardeners, lined up respectfully, caps in hand,
Despite the trepidation in their hearts
Each received a caring smile
And a word of praise for their handiwork.
‘Inconsequential dinosaurs.’
Is the judgment passed in his mind.
In the dead of night the bulldozers will strike
And centuries of love and craft will fill the skips.
The ‘agents’ manning the phones
In the call centre barracks built on the site
Will not be permitted plants at workstations.
While working long shifts
For CAMELIA INSURANCE plc.
