Ode to our potholes

Sir—The worst road in Rotherham, Beaconsfield Road, what has become of you?

Your potholes used to be so few but as I drive down you today I have to swerve out of the way. Never have you been so bad. To look at you now makes me feel so sad, holes adorn your weary tarmac — why are the council being so slack?

I do not agree with 4x4s upon the highway and would ban them all if I had my way but with all the humps and bumps, raised manholes and ruddy great lumps you need a car that’s really tough as the roads are now so rough, so please can we have our lovely road back or is it funds the council lack?

This is a small poem regarding the road that used to be Beaconsfield. Now it feels more like a farm track. Vehicles are having to swerve around the massive potholes on the brow of the hill. I  am sure that an accident will occur if this situation continues. Please RMBC, do the right thing.
