Plague On Wheels
PLAGUE ON WHEELS*
It was one of those
All too frequent times
So many of the buggers
They couldn’t even move
Mesmerised
Hypnotised
Repeating
Ad nauseum
“You like
Carbon monoxide
It’s good for your health
It’s good for the planet”
“You like
Carbon monoxide
It’s good for your health
It’s good for the planet”
“You like
Carbon monoxide
It’s good for your health
It’s good for the planet”
“Would you like
To share my deadly poison?”
I dream of being asked and reply
“No, thank you all the same
But please do have my share yourself”

Too late. I think about this every time I’m at a traffic light behind a 3/4 ton pickup with a diesel engine and a 4 inch exhaust pipe, knowing that the driver will put his foot to the floor when the light changes and I’ll be driving into a cloud of black exhaust.
