Suburbs poem
The middle class territory.
At urbanised end.
The posh, pretty cul de sac.
The commute round the bend.
The home of the dinner party.
For college trained types.
The keep up of appearances.
Both sweetness and light.
The dwelling of professional.
Away from concrete turf.
Yet in touch with amenities.
Bankers salt of the earth.
