Get set go

On your marks …..

          Get ready …..

                   Go

                        Back to bed

The world can just speed off

Gather momentum

Keep pace

I’ll just

  Watch from the duvet the

   Safest place

Full speed ahead

Wiz round another

Tower block

No noise, sense or touch

Keep the windows firmly locked

Keep the cat close beside

Until finally the

Day hits gridlock

And I can see the drunkards round the bend

Hear the domestic THUD THUD

See the kids rip up

The playground, and

A can of strong lager tipped over my fence

On your marks get ready and

Go…………………………..
