Its hard to believe that in their fourth year of the canal and river trust. That the trust still not been able to build the foundation on which to build a future of financial self sufficiency. The reason for the inability is patently clear. The public are not enamoured by the trusts performance so far.
CaRT Funding Folly
I'm a chugger for CaRT, I'm finding the role quite tough;
no one is interested in my spiel, I think they've had enough;
if I annoy the punters any more, they might just cut up rough;
they never come to the high street, fed up of all my boring guff.
I'm a partnership chairman, just a joke to make you smile;
ill skilled at raising funds, the boss for far to long a while;
the creation of a misplaced vanity, for the trust I am a trial;
I'm the answer to CaRT's needs, so its costing them a pile.
I'm no longer a contributing friend, to a canal full of smelly mud;
my finances are better spent, on something that I feel is good;
clean water where its needed, not wasted on a watery crud;
now spent on fighting a disease, is how I feel it should.
I'm a conservation volunteer, used by CaRT to pick up litter;
enough of bottles and dog shit filled bags, I sent the trust a letter;
hoping that my skills might be used, to help make things better;
but forever to the litter pickers bag, it seems that I am fettered.
