Road Splatter

I walked along the street I did

With all its noise and clatter

I'm having trouble coping

Is it me that is the matter?

Crossing road just where I should

Car horn blasts, I shatter

Frightening the life out me

Making me go scatter

I turned and gave a drilling glare

You dirty little ratter

You want to see me on the ground

Bitumen road-splatter?

I saw his lips just faintly move

A swear I saw him natter

What's become of drivers now

Have they no grey matter?

Brian - this was just a playaround with -atter words. I was pleased with the result.

This poem was a playaround
With verse that ends with -atter
My nice friend on the farside
Says I could patter-batter (?)

(think its time I went to bed, my poetry's deteriorating)

DM ?

Don I like this...it's amusing and it's tight.

If you want to add more verses you've got batter, fatter, hatter and latter to name but a few.
