I just could not believe it!!
There I was driving through my town,
Up a main road behind other cars.
The car in front of me signalled,
Signalled to turn right.
He had to wait as cars were coming,
Coming down the other side,
The other side of the road.
And then another car was waiting,
Waiting to come out of the road,
The road the car in front wanted to go.
And then it happened,
One of those things that was so surprising!
A car coming down stopped,
It allowed both cars to come out,
And go into that right hand turn.
What I couldn’t believe though
Was that the car that gave way
Was a Beema!!
They own the roads don’t they!
They have no signals on them!
Just go about their own way
Uncaring about anybody else!
But this one gave way,
I am sure he must have been unwell.
(Beema = BMW)

Oh lol, good write Gold.
Doddy paid his taxes yet?!
Thanks Orchi.
He left that problem to his family!
Andy
it sounds harsh, but some people 'let him off' just because he has passed away. We all have to pay taxes, so why shouldn't he? He couldn't take it with him - the cash! Of course, his life was 'Happiness', dodging taxes. Doh! The family searched under his mattress for the dough?!
I know this is , or appears to be, a private conversation - but what I can discern from orchi's post, the whole issue is of universal interest. I particularly like the 'cant take it with him' approach. The whole issue of death duties should be more openly debated.
I'm side-tracked from the poem to the video.
I wuz the reverse, orch - I went from the poem to the vid after you drew it to my attention. As a tribute to Lowry the painter, I thought it pretty good (if you like that kind of thing....)
So wot\'s the story of Ken Dodd and his taxes? You both knew him, back in 1066?
Yes, and he probably didn't pay up in 1066 either! lol.
Ah ha - 'probably'...Rumour and inuendo....no actual proof? Come on - fess up, otherwise I will have to enlist the help of one of those wierdos who believe in such things (a few here?) and let Ken know ........................
My prejudices challenged - how lovely:
I love this because my name is Andy:
When happenings occur quite radical,
That allows me to wax poetical.
Andy, I don’t know how you do this every day, but I appreciate it, am enjoying it.
Most kind Dave, I have been commenting in poetic form on things I see for a very long time. I have even written poems in the coffee house that I go to when I see something happen and given the poems to the people I saw doing things.

'Most Kind' is a label you should wear, Andy. Not just a label - it should be in a precious metal.
Love it... so there are some courteous drivers once in a while.. LOL
Thank you Tammy.
It is so strange in this country to see a courteous BMW diver.
Andy
LOL, Right Andy
Was he maybe a born again Beema? I guess conscience can strike at the most unexpected times. I absolutely loved the video as well. Great write my friend!
He may well be born again, he certainly wasn't a normal Beema driver.
Thank you Bella..
Andy
You are indeed the master of this particular 'observational' form of poetic genre Andy .. I previously got rid of my BMW because of the increasingly negative stereotyping that it attracted .. and of course the boy racers who so often tried to pass me on bends etc .. I find that Audi owner/drivers are fast becoming the same, if indeed they have not already overtaken the Beema boys n girls ... I now drive a Mercedes ................ Neville 🙂
