Asco trolley-pusher.

Who fought its cause?
"Twas I, Lynda Snell
"It served us so well;
I fought its cause"

Who'll suffer most?
"I," blubbered Susan
"Well think what I'm losing;
I'll suffer most"

Who's gone very quiet?
It must be Annette
Her best plotline yet;

Who knew not a thing?
Well that would be Jack
He's quite lost the knack;

All the folk round the Green were a-cursing and a-tutting
When they heard the news that the shop was shutting
When they heard the news that the shop was shutting
