M STANDS FOR MOTORWAY MADNESS

                               
                                                        XXXVII

M stands for the maniac
On our motorway
Where drivers have to dice with death
Every single day.

M is for the madness
That invades their mind
As they drive along the M25
Leaving courtesy behind.

M stands for the music
Which must be turned up high
To block out every other sound
Of traffic passing by.

M is for the macho man
Who thinks he has the right
To drive at a hundred miles an hour
|Overtaking all in sight.

M is for the mayhem caused
By driving nose to tail.
Warnings are issued every year
But to no avail.

Maturity and moderation
Also start with M
What a pity that we do not
See some more of them.
