Ode to a Lamppost
	(Inspired by Madness.)

A lamppost is a wonderous thing
Think of the joy that it would bring
Once a dark and lonely street
Now lit up with new faces to meet

Walking into things in the dark
Tripping over things that go bark
Falling into open manholes
Bumping into vertical poles

But now all is bright all is clear
All is light to see all things near
A lamppost helps you see at night
No hidden dread to give you a fright

So praise the lamppost clear and loud
Because you know it'll do you proud
So for the streets unnoticed host
The great, the wonderful, the lamppost
