Dear Editor,
“Oh Mama, you know that I always love you. The day you departed you tore my heart. Please forgive me Mama for not placing any flowers on your grave. Instead I had to throw dozens of flowers into the Princes Street canal after failing to locate your grave in the middle of the jungle.”
The Le Repentir cemetery has now become a national disgrace, thanks to the city council. I am now left to wonder if our Mayor is planning to promote our city as the only capital with a jungle in its centre. Now is the time for the mayor to start acting as if ants are in his pants and do something about what has become an eyesore. Could somebody please tell me what is preventing the city council from clearing the cemetery?
Come Mothers’ Day I will try once again to take some fresh flowers for my mother, and if the jungle still remains I would no longer pollute the canal, instead I would take the flowers and drop them off at the doorstep of the Mayor requesting him to make a delivery.
As the song says, ‘Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame on you.’
Yours faithfully,
Mervyn Major
