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.

An Anti-Selfish Drink

How would you improve your community?

If it existed, I would make an Anti-Selfish Behaviour drink   available  from a kiosk in a local park for everyone to imbibe while they go about their daily lives.

The kiosk would be manned by cheery volunteers and there would be tables available for those who wanted to chat.

If the weather was bad,then the kiosk would be set up inside a local library and the drink would be available to anyone who wanted it, in the form of tea,coffee or juice at no cost.

Might work

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.
