I had the invitation to a booster injection

As one of those oldies who warrant selection.

To my delight it was listed to be given close by

Albeit a shade too far to walk (or even try!)

So I decided to invest in a business which

Would see me arrive there without a hitch

To hell with the expense - I booked a cab

To take me in style to my booster jab.

And it certainly did that - allow me a smirk

That saw me alight from a shiny new 'Merc',

The sort that politicians seem to enjoy with aplomb

Never mind that the fuel must cost taxpayers a bomb.

And I also made sure it was booked to return.....

This pensioner - like a pop star with money to burn!!

But it was wise to attend - that much was made clear

So I was willing to pay my way - there and back here! 

Now I can relax virtuously for the winter ahead

And spend my cash on things like presents instead!!
