O'Connell Street Dublin

Maria Lees

Oh ! No!  there they go again,

Babies, toddlers, women, men.

Rushing in their crooked lines,

egnoring  all the warning signs.

 

Risking life it seems to me,

This army of humanity,

Babies first, in blue and red

advancing buggies, yards ahead.

 

Dashing forth, no time for stopping,

Far too busy window- shopping,

Cars and buses crawling by unnoticed,

Just the same as  I,

 

So many years I've stood close by,

The chaos seen through my red eye,

I'd love to give them all a fright,

Alas, I'm just a traffic light.
