Five fifteen
Here we come,
Dash for scooter
Run for car
Pull on starter
Clutch engaged
Clouds of dust
All enraged.
Cromwell Road
Here we come,
Fine for several
Not for some.
Sudden change
Amber - red
Squeal of brakes
Nearly dead.
Back to green
Crash of gears
"Cut him up -
That he fears".
Swing to left,
Swerve to right,
"Nearly got him -
Next time might".
Flash of blue
Traffic cop,
Slow right down,
Pull in. Stop.
Solemn warning,
Do not repeat;
Sometimes we must
Admit defeat.
