What is happening to our town,

who is trying to kill it?

Tourists, and others, now hasten by

without even bothering to visit.

Dirty, empty shops abound

with fouled, littered pavements unsightly.

A sorely, neglected appearance all round

where once our town shone brightly.

Pet owners - have considered thought

and for others - show civility.

It is not your animal's fault,

but it is your responsibility.

Agents for selling empty shops

should keep facades attractive.

It only takes a little effort

and being more proactive.

In years gone by, great pride was shown

by keeping Ross clean and neat,

And welcoming many a stranger

who walked among our streets.

So you can at least attempt

to improve the situation

and give Ross a chance,

of beneficial regeneration.
