AUNTY DEVELOPMENT'S NURSERY RHYMES

Kirk and Todd went up the hill

To fetch a lake of water

None was found

no well in the ground

So they went tumbling homeward.

***

Little Boy Green, come play your drum

There's a dam on the meadow

The lakes are all scum

Where are the developers

who ruined the land?

They've gone down the mountain

As fast as they can.

***

Todd, Todd, the developer's son

Trashed the mountain, 

And away did run.

The only tune that he could play,

Sell those timeshares, and skedaddle away.

***

We had a lovely mountain, not much would it grow,

A forest full of pine trees, and quite of lot of snow

The developers and bulldozers came and plowed it down,

Built parking lots and timeshares

And then went back to town.
