the dengue breeding


The empty houses
The empty owners
The unkempt compounds
The breeding of mosquitoes

The months and years
The houses aren't cleaned
The empty owners don't bother
The town council officials never see

As long as the owners pay
The annual quit rent and assessment rates
Everything will be fine in their books
But the empty homes pose a threat

The dengue mosquitoes breed
They will nip, suck and fly away
Giving us doses of life and death
On the houses of empty owners

The town councils should invoke its by-laws
Catch the empty owners else take away their homes
The local authority officials should walk the district
Catch the culprits who fail to maintain their homes
