PARKED CAR

I parked my car on the long road

with all of the other cars today

at 6.30 a.m. in the morning.

My car was there all day until

1800 hours when it ceased to be.

Heavy wagons sped past

suffocating my car with exhaust fumes.

My car doesn’t mind as it is

at rest now happily parked up

along with the Escorts and Fiestas.

My car likes watching the world go by,

seeing buses and cars go past,

all doing their little bit.

That’s when the young juveniles

come along and see my parked car.

They laugh and then point at my

Fiat Panda. Then they break in,

pinching the stereo; not even the

alarm stops them.

But there is one thing that will.

That’s in the form of a little surprise.

You see, I put 300 pounds of Semtex in the boot

And removing the stereo sets it off.

Boom! Bye-bye kids!
