I hate trucks that overtake trucks on the motorway
Bunging up the middle lane as a HGV inches, or Waddles past another HGV on the motorway Do I chance the fast lane or slow and wait as The truck slowly glacially overtakes the other truck On the motorway? I was thinking about this when one of the tires Of the truck overtaking the other truck blew On the motorway, exploded in a puff of brown smoke And the truck lurched into the fast lane And back into the middle lane and the tire Was in shreds And brakes were applied And we almost died But in the end, nothing happened Because I wasn't in the fast lane And we got home And I wrote my fourteenth poem And now I've mentioned that it's my fourteenth poem Some of you - not nastily, but understandably - Are wishing that I'd been overtaking The truck the was overtaking another truck On the motorway.
