Community Improvements?

Daily writing prompt
How would you improve your community?

I know my community a little better,

Having been here twenty years,

Their little quirks , prejudices and also their strange fears,

On the whole they are not a a bad bunch,

A little gossip about tittle tattle over lunch,

Where’s the harm in that?

It took us all by surprise when Esme told us who killed her cat,

She even knew the murder weapon,

It was Gerard’s cricket bat,

Gerard didn’t perform the terrible act,

Apparently ,it was number forty-seven,

The man’s mental health situation sent Esme’s cat to heaven,

His house is now up for sale for an unrealistic price,

Seems the owner thought he decorated it very nice,

We chatted about it and all thought the same,

He’d only been there five years and the colours were insane,

All in all we live our lives,

Some bury bodies others tend hives,

I don’t think much will change in our Community,

We appreciate now and hope we get our place in posterity,

We deserve a plaque or perhaps a few,

For being here and also sharing time with you.
