miniature daffodils
flowering on prayers and rain
neighbours rubbish pile

I don't give a monkey's
about what you think;
your sarcastic, shouted "thank you"
when I didn't acknowledge your stopping
to let me complete a three-point turn
in a residential street you were using as a racetrack.
What did you expect?
that I should get out a genuflect?
or kiss the tyres and your go-fast stripe?
Oh, Lord, bless this man
who does sixty in a thirty zone
while passing two schools and a speed bump,
for he is the Very Best of drivers
and hasn't hit a child for weeks.
