Screams of fright!

How on earth did it reach this stage of road rage?

And this normal calm person now has to engage

In slamming on brakes - now can’t overtake

And how much more of this can I partake?

You’ve slowed me down in this small town,

You’ve cut me up now I’m wearing a frown,

Am spitting feathers in this rain and weather -

We almost ended up as two cars stuck together!

How dare you pull out on that roundabout

In front of me, want to give you a clout!

Did you not see me in this little blue car?

Or is it because you just can’t see all that far?

I slipped and slid and almost skid

Into the flower beds in my takeover bid;

Where’s your etiquette and your give way -

Did you not bring it out with you today?

I wonder if you did acknowledge me

And noticed I almost met with a tree?

With no thanks to you, didn’t know what to do

I almost bit off more than I could chew!

You didn’t hear my screams of fright

Your driving today was not quite right.

It really was manic and my feelings of panic

Your learning’s must have been of pure organic.

Male or female, don’t know what you are,

You need lessons to learn how to drive your car!

Coz today you nearly never got that far

Your haphazard driving was quite bizarre.

I had to think quickly, my head in a spin

Didn’t quite know if I was going or been.

So before you embark on another drive,

A thought for this driver, who just survived!
