Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

F*** she yelled at the tail-backed traffic,
red light illuminating her angry features,
I don’t believe this s***!
Look at him, look at the p**** pushing in!
If he thinks he can cut me up,
he’s got another thing coming!
I knew that t*** in the flash car
would do that! Get in the right lane!
I clung on to the door handle tightly
as she swerved and swore her way through
the rush-hour traffic.
Finally I’d had enough. I had to say something.
C****! I said.
What did you say?
She asked, eyes wide in shock.
I don’t think anyone had ever spoken to her like that before.
I smiled and repeated myself.
Chill!

A bad hair day?! heehee.
Inspired by a lift from the worst driver I have ever seen. Thanks Orchi.
Road rage rolls rapidly round regular routes. A poem quite identifiable in a world too much in a hurry. Nicely done
That's exactly it, Soren. I tried to capture the angry driving in a poem. Thanks as always for your comments.
You are most welcome
Do they still do those parachute jumping courses which provided much instruction on how to land?
Go man, go - and hope she hasn't locked the doors from the inside................
Haha, yes, rolling from a speeding vehicle! Like something from a Bond film. 🙂
Save yourself to write another poem....
That was some Driving Test. Did she Pass at all!
Honestly, it was the worst driving I have ever experienced!
Tom, this cracked me up. The chaos of traffic and swearing builds so tense…and then that punchline just drops it all. Perfect. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks a lot for your comments, Tristan. Really appreciated. 😀
Chill indeed, there are so many bad drivers out there nowadays Tom.
Andy
Honestly, Andy. It was like we were in a car chase! 😀
