I have heard through the grapevine that the Meritage Centre in Hendon is due to close, so I have written a poem.
I have heard through the grapevine that Meritage will close,
Leaving many people with nowhere else to go.
Old friends love to chatter, tea and biscuits too,
Lunch is then provided and bingo, lots to do.
Transport is available, companionship a must,
Without these things there is no escape, we cannot catch the bus.
So councillors please think again, our future is looking bleak,
Have a change of heart and then give your plans a tweak.
Mrs K Brown
Great North Way, Hendon
