Live near your work! We should be made to own
Or rent a property within five miles
Of factory or office. How we moan
About commuting in our vehicles
As we turn up those global warming dials
A few more degrees. To cycle or walk
To work would be healthy and free. All smiles:
No need for gym fees. Please, town planners, chalk
Up plans for city centre schools; no talk
Of costly, exclusive suburban zone
Or only poor or singles’ domiciles
In the town centre. And we should not balk
At scrapping workplace life. We have the phone,
We have the net. Who needs rat race lifestyles?
