Driving me mad!
'Kill your speed'
You're having a laugh!
It would have been quicker
To walk on the path!
Women with babies
Are passing me by!
Elderly gents and ladies;
I sit here and sigh.
Gas works, electrics,
They all need repairing
And my own water works;
(My bladder's unsparing)
It's appalling, keep stalling
Am fed up with crawling.
And people are bawling -
They keep on name calling.
There's no one to blame,
It's always the same.
Tempers are frayed;
I'm now so delayed!
Three way traffic lights
So many diversions
Are such an aversion
Could it really worsen?
Keep using my brakes
And can’t overtake
There’s so much at
stake
Just need a break.
It's so hard to say
If I get there on time
Now I've filled my ashtray
It's now overtime.
