People of Crook
Soon you will see
A wind turbine
A monstrosity.

220ft from tip to base
Like a revolting monster
From outer space.

Higher than Durham Cathedral
This wind turbine will be
I’d say
“It’s council planning gone made”
If anyone asks me.

Planning is proposed for number two
And possibly other three
Looking from Crook
Along Dowfold Hill
Just wind turbines we’ll see.

Object to Durham County Council
Your letters will let them see
Don’t let them spoil our country views
Keep Crook Town as it should be.

Douglas Ward,
Crook
