h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

why not move out of Gosford?? Wherever the F**k that is. . .

Thanks for the information
on this problem I have got.
But here is the revelation:
an intellectual, you're not.

I meant no harm in my suggestion
that you move out of the slum
It's a cure for the congestion
but you'll have to leave your mum

Could you be further from the truth?
I travel from a greener land
far from the regions of my youth -
such city-bound don't understand.
I travel for my work, forsooth!
If only there were less demand...

It sounds like you're spending far too long commuting on a train
The daily mass migrations can be taxing on the brain
My advice was not to get away from doing what you like
But you should get a job in Gosford then you'd only need a bike

So to poetry sans pity;
I at least don't wear a suit,
but the IT in the city
leaves me no choice but commute.

An alternative to Info Tech
For you would be ideal
Perhaps you could try gardening
Instead of buying your next meal

Being slaved to a computer
Another blank face on a train
You should switch to growing vegetables
There'd be no reason to copmplain

An intellectual I may not be
Nor a rider of a tram
But the real revelation here
Is the poet that I am!
