Lost The Plot



In saying I don’t like travelling on motorways isn’t 
clandestinely suggesting that I have lost th’ plot - 
well, not too far from it anyway - but th’ hot news 
is I don’t feel safe stuck in that slo-lane when the 
rest o’ humanity express utmost disdain for ‘dips’ 
whom they see as shuffling ungainly, in their way, 
and needing reminders - so they ‘dis’ ‘em with th’ 
macho o’ bravado-manoeuvres, a bit like p*ssing 

on them as they rush on by; & even semi-drivers 
can get into the groove if y’ give ‘em an inch or 2, 
which y’ do less any flinching; it’s better to arrive 
home in the car damp than back of th’ ‘ambo’, a 
klaxon shrilling to Hell & Sundry braying - lookee 
who’s in here - one less to pass on th’ motorway
