I tried to submit my meter reading

For my electric supply today

You'll probably guess where this is leading -

There was just no way! 

 

Despite my efforts across the hours

The message on view was the same

Sorry but failed systemic powers

Are the things that are to blame.

 

No matter that much time was had

To get their systems working,

How could the timing  be so bad?

So I ask - who's been shirking

 

In a vital industry that generates

An essential public provision

Yet whose efficiency disintegrates

To engender deserved derision?.

 

So, on the eve of a massive hike

In prices that catch the breath

There is plenty that is not to like

In this "can't do" from EDF.!
