Friday, Saturday, Sunday the waters struck

Amroth sea wall was down on its luck

Concrete and tarmac disappeared overnight

Poseidon showed off with all of his might

Sandbags delivered, floodgates in place

The council responded with commendable pace

Telpyn cut off, but nobody hurt

Wiseman's Bridge road enveloped in dirt

Photos in papers, Pembrokeshire's broken

Blame is apportioned, loud mouths outspoken

Firemen pumping premises where

Absentee landlords don't really care

'Quickly repair!' but who can respond

PCC and Evan, smartly did bond

Track machines and JCBs

Pushed back the defences against the seas

In 48 hours most highways were fixed

Infill prepared, concrete to be mixed

With thanks to the men who work without break

Hour upon hour - all give and no take.

Carl Gunning,

Saundersfoot.
