Driving me mad!

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.
