"Driving" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 1/6/2005

These Days ...    
Let Me Tell You ...    
I'm ... TIRED of Driving ... !!!    
     
But HELL NO ...      
I AIN'T ... " Riding " ... !!!!!    
   
Cos' ...    
When I See How Some Drive ...    
It's Like They're ... IMPROVISING ... ?!!!?    
     
There Was A Time ....    
     
LONG Ago .......................................................................    
     
When It Was ...      
FUN To Drive ... !!!    
     
But ...      
Nowadays' I'm Quite Pleased ...    
To Get Back Home ... ALIVE ... !!!!!    
     
I'll Explain What I Mean ...    
     
This ...      
     
ROAD RAGE ...  Behaviour ...    
Is Simply ... OBSCENE ... !!!    
     
The Language In Use ...    
Is REALLY ... UNCLEAN ... !!!    
     
From GROWN Men To Women ...    
To Those In Their Teens ...    
     
I Just ... Can't Believe ...    
The Things That I've Seen ... !?!?!    
     
Men ...      
REVERSING ... Down Roads ... ?!!!?    
To AVOID Those ..................... They Goad .........    
     
It's Like ...    
They Thought That ... " Their Car " ...    
Could Stop Them ... Taking BLOWS ... ?!?    
     
The Words In This Prose ...    
Simply ... Go To SHOW ...    
That ... Actions You Take ...    
When Driving On Road ...    
Can Possibly Leave You ... ?    
With Blood On Your Nose ... !!!    
     
Or ...    
EVEN WORSE Still ...    
Bring Your Life ...    
To A ... PREMATURE Close ... !!!!    
     
I'm Learning These Days ...    
To Just ..... Keep My Cool .....    
And AVOID These Young Fools ...    
     
Cos' Young Drivers These Days ...    
Like To Drive Round With ... " TOOLS " ... !!!    
     
Knives and ... GUNS ...    
They Keep ...      
     
"Stashed In Their Boot" ... !!!!!    
     
This Story ...      
... IS TRUE ... !!!    
     
One Day I Was Driving ...    
Behind A ... " Young Group " ...    
     
Who ...      
THOUGHT They Were TOUGH ... !!!    
And Were Acting ... UNCOUTH ... !!!    
     
Their ... IGNORANT Driving ...    
Made Me ... HIT THE ROOF ... !!!!!    
     
I Was ... ON MY OWN ...    
There Were ... THREE of Them ...    
     
I ... Beeped My Horn ...    
     
Next Thing ...      
They Jumped OUT ...      
of Their ... "BLACKED OUT BM' " ...    
     
A MATCHSTICK White Boy ...    
And Two ... Asian Men ...    
     
In FACT ...    
They Were ... " Boys " ...    
With A ... BIG BLACK PROBLEM ... !!!!!    
     
I Was Feeling ... "low" ...    
and READY To ... BLOW ... !!!    
     
I Parked ... IN THE ROAD ...    
So ... NO-ONE Could Go ... !!!!    
     
I QUICKLY Advised ...    
As I Looked In Their Eyes ... !!!    
     
"Let's go, if your ready !    
I'm ready to die !"
   
     
"Whoa, Hold on now bro !"    
     
Said The ...      
     
" little " ... White Guy ...      
The Driver ... Complied ...    
     
BUT Their ...      
Drugged Up Companion ...    
STILL Wanted To ... " TRY " ... ?!?    
     
I Told Them ...    
     
"Just GO !"    
     
They QUICKLY ...      
Said ... Goodbye ... !!!    
     
I Believe I'm Now LUCKY ...    
To ... STILL BE ALIVE ... !!!    
     
Just DRIVING ... These Days ...    
Can Be A ... " Fight For YOUR LIFE " ... !!?!!    
     
DRIVING ...      
... Is A PAIN ... !!!    
     
PARKING ...    
... Is The Same ... !!!    
     
Parking Attendants ...    
Don't Seem To Have SHAME ... !!!    
     
They're Making Us PAY ...    
For These ... " Parking Campaigns " ... ?    
     
THIEVES and LIARS ... !!!    
Are Now Up For ... HIRE ... !!!    
     
WILLING ...    
     
To Take ... "Bribes" ... !!!    
From Your ... " Average Guy " ...    
To Make Themselves Money ...    
From FALSE ... " Parking Fines " ... !!!!!    
     
Working In ... " Teams " ...    
With ... TARGET Led Guides ...    
     
If YOU ... FAIL The Team ...    
Your Dubbed The BAD GUY ... !!!    
     
In LONDON Alone ...    
They're ASSAULTED Each Day ... !!!    
     
BUT It's ... NO SURPRISE ...    
The Way They Behave ... !!!    
     
The Things They CAN DO ...    
Have Left Me ... AMAZED ... !?!    
     
If You ...    
     
Offer Them CASH ...    
For A Fine You Must Pay ...    
     
Some Attendants ...      
Have ... " Methods " ...    
To Get Them ... ERASED ... !!!    
     
For ....    
     
HALF of The Price ... !!!    
Man ... What A DISGRACE ... !!!!!!    
     
You Drive AROUND Town ...    
Just To Get A DAMNED SPACE ... !!!!!    
     
Only To Find ................    
A Uniformed ... CRIMINAL ...      
LYING ... In Wait ... !!!?!!! ...    
     
I'm NOT EVEN ... Gonna Start ...    
On The ... CONGESTION CHARGE ... !!!!!    
     
Creators of THIS ...    
Are CON MEN With BIG CARS ... !!!!!    
With CHAUFFEURS Who DRIVE THEM ...      
     
This Charge Is A ... FARCE ... !!!    
     
BILLIONS Are Paid ...    
To Drive Cars These days ... !!!!!    
     
But FOOLS Are ... "Complying" ...    
To Hold TRUTH ... "In Hiding" ...    
     
From Speed Cams' ...      
To .... FINES .....    
     
These Schemes Are ...      
... " Conniving " ...    
     
And These Are ...    
Some of The Reasons ...    
     
I'm TIRED of ..........    
     
.... " Driving " .... !!!!!

Author's Note
After seeing a documentary on the BBC that showed the level of corruption attendants were involved in, plus the general slog of just getting home, I wrote this, soon after the incident I mention, in the poem, that I was involved in .....

One of a few I had before leaving London ..... It seems worse NOW !!!!!
