I’ve got a good idea,
Let’s build a skippy bit of train track,
An insignificant scrap,
Across little Britain;
βIs that a good idea?
…Is it?
I wonder what else…
Cost Β£100 billion? π€
- International Space Station π°
- Entire Apollo Moon program (today’s $) ππ
- I’m struggling to find a third construction project…
I used to joke,
That Edinburgh’s tram system,
Cost almost one percent the International Space Station,
For 8.7 miles of track…
And six years of disruption;
HS2,
Would cost the same as the space station,
βExcept it wouldn’t,
Would it?
It’d cost twice,
Thrice as much,
By the time everybody’s,
Had their ‘bonuses’…
