"Broads Comedy: The Flooded Fiasco at Hickling Hall"

In Hickling Hall, a meeting so grand,
To discuss the flooding, Norfolk's lowland.
The Broads Authority's CEO in a cowboy hat,
Indifferent to floods, imagine that!

Three hours of talk, broadcasted live,
No comments on floods, did he even strive?
Cucumber sandwiches passed around,
Responsibility shirked, solutions unfound.

Dredging dismissed, a chap declared,
Spoil's toxic, but no one cared.
Boat tolls persist, blame on climate change,
Proper drainage ignored, such a strange exchange.

The CEO's hat, a symbol so bold,
Yet silence on flooding, a story untold.
A comedy of errors, a meeting absurd,
No progress made, just laughter heard.

In Hickling Hall, a meeting so grand,
To discuss the Broads, and the floods on the land.
The CEO, with a cowboy hat on his head,
Ignored the crisis, as if it were all in his stead.

Three hours they spoke, live on the net,
No solutions found, just cucumber etiquette.
The Broads suffered, drowning in despair,
While the CEO's hat played musical chair.

Crisis at hand, water everywhere,
But the CEO sat, without a single care.
No comments on floods, no urgency displayed,
Just a nonchalant attitude, as the Broads decayed.

Cucumber sandwiches passed around,
Responsibility shirked, problems profound.
Dredging dismissed, a moment so funny,
As if the toxic spoil was mere honey.

Boat tolls rising, excuses obscure,
Climate change blamed, truth left unsure.
Proper drainage needed, a call for sanity,
But alas, in Hickling Hall, just cucumber vanity.
