Invite visitors to our home?

With the parking problems

Here in Willow Green

Best come by rail!

Arrive to find the station

No more than a platform and shelter

Walk down the ramp

Through the dimly lit underpass

Mind the dog mess, whose owners

Have never heard of the blindness

Toxocara canis can cause.

Passing piles of bricks

Where once the Railway Hotel stood

Stepping through puddles in the road

Keeping an eye, for the bulky lorries

As they ramble over the bridge.

Right at the end of the road

Head toward the light, aroma of donar kebab

Ignore the litter, youths hanging around

Don’t chastise them for

Their disgusting habits

Just walk on

And welcome
