The Man from Kalamunda, Again!
‘Who the hell is MODAP, cried the man from Kalamunda,
Another outer Joint development, to bring us all asunder?
And despite the wishes of all involved, who said this was a blunder,
Another fast-food outlet built, enough to make them chunder,
And a new concrete liability, a brand-new car wash wonder!
One wonders what went on, when the MODAP plan was suggested,
As the sites proposed with traffic flow, points to a lot of congestion,
Added to this, is the residents rest and the noise from all directions,
And parents worry with a school so close and children’s diet selection!
So why is this, we then all ask, another sad erection,
To match the present concrete shambles, now in the towns collection,
Another tilt-up concrete palace devoid of any perfection!
And not the type of business we would want, if we had to make a selection.
The residents thought their wishes were approved, on the strength of their objections,
But as history has shown a vote for no, to show a strong conviction,
Means nothing to planners, developers and scammers in overcoming objections!
If our past city fathers, respected and regarded, could see their legacy task,
When they valued a heritage village, with its images of its past,
A true hills town with its historic buildings, and quiet shady parks,
Without the commotion, hurry and promotion that modern living sparks,
A relaxing place for visitors to enjoy and forget their daily tasks.
Again, our local leaders proclaim, of this, we should be proud,
Because we’re adding a joint development, the idea is very sound,
But our past city fathers would turn in their graves and ask the question how?
Another lousy suburban suburb, that’s now to a panel bound!
Watto!
