<B>Meditation on the A30</B>
A man on his own in a car
Is revenging himself on his wife;
he opens the throttle and bubbles with dottle
And puffs at his pitiful life.
'She's losing her looks very fast,
She's losing her temper all day;
That lorry won't let me get past,
This Mini is blocking my way.
'Why can't you step on it and shift her !
I can't go on crawling like this !
At breakfast she said that she wished I was dead -
Thank heavens we don't have to kiss.
'I'd like a nice blond on my knee
And one who won't argue or nag.
Who dares to come hooting at me ?
I only give way to a Jag.
'You're barmy or plastered, I'll pass you, you bas*ard -
I will overtake you. I will !'
As he clenches his pipe, his moment is ripe
And the corner's accepting its kill.

Hi Nimbus. Thought we might start a trend ![](http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif)
Here's one to our ol friend Mr Straw..
HEY JACK, WHAT'S THE CRACK
BEEN CAUGHT, NOW PAY THE PRICE
ONE HUNDRED PLUS, SO TAKE THE BUS
NOW THAT WOULD LOOK QUITE NICE
BUT MR STRAW - ABOVE THE LAW
WE KNOW THE GAMES YOU PLAY
WITH JUST A NOD TO MR PLOD
OH RIGHT SIR - ON YOUR WAY
SO LISTEN JACK, SIT IN THE BACK
YOU'RE RIGHT FOOT'S JUST TOO HEAVY
YOUR JOB IS THIS, TO TAKE THE P155
AND DREAM UP SOME NEW LEVY
INVISIBLE TO ALL THE GATSO'S, SPECCS AND UNCLE BILL
YOUR CAR IS JUST LIKE ALL OF OURS
IT CAN HURT AND MAIM AND KILL
SO THINK ABOUT IT JACK, IT'S TRUE
HE KNOW YOU'VE HALF A BRAIN
FORGET ABOUT YOUR MATES IN BLUE
HEY - WHY NOT TAKE THE TRAIN !
SO MR STRAW - ABOVE THE LAW
NEXT TIME YOU DO A TON
WE'D LIKE TO SEE YOU FINED OR JAILED
NOW THAT WOULD BE GREAT FUN !!
Poetic Justice heheheheheheheh !!!![](http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif)
