CAMERA MAN

There's a man walking around our village
with a camera in his hand
We're all wondering what he is doing
could it be some council scheme plan
Although he doesn't look very dangerous,
but maybe he could be a spy
It might not just be a harmless camera
but a machine with an infrared eye
That can pierce right though outside walls
and see what you're watching on TV
Is it possible that he's doing under cover
work for the BBC
Maybe they think in our village there are
many people over the age
Of 75 years old who once received a
free license and now have not paid
Perhaps he's working freelance for the
papers or our local magazine
We'll just have to wait for the next edition
then we'll know for sure what he's seen
When he's been walking around our
village with a camera in his hand
Or maybe we should just ask the council
to tell us what is being planned.
