THE KORU ROAD.
(Dedicated to the Taranaki County Council). To the Taranaki County Council, 1 indite this little ode, Just to draw polite attention To the rotten Korn road. 'Tis the worst one in the district; Of that there's not a doubt. If like me fchoy used it every day They'd quickly find that out. Why. there's stones as big as ostrich eggs Lord knows from where they've sprun« I'd like to see a few of 'em 'Round the necks of members hung, Which no doubt would he an argument That would surely carry weight And cause a close inspection Of the road's most awful state. Xow, there's good men on the Conneil— I've seen 'em go to church— So why not act like Christians, And not leave us in ,the lurch' For I plainly tell our mem',.' That if things go on like lii. Not one of Koru's residents Will reach the land of blis*. For when you're being bumped about In motor, cart, or gig, jYou can take my wortf the language Js something awfully big. a So I trust our Council members Will ease us of our pain And give us here in Korn A decent road again, —H..T.E.
