Don't Mess with This Lady, Boy! |

Into song writing now
Are you clicking your fingers and tapping your toes? This fits just nicely to the "Big Bad John" music. And - one-two-three-four (and 8 finger clicks between the verses to do it justice) (May have to modify parts for children) ha ha
So, I’m driving back home at the end of the day,
When a stupid young driver is ready to play.
He’s weaving around at the back my car –
But this is the time that he's gone too far.
Thinking “He’s in a hurry” I just let him by
When a two fingered gesture just caught my eye.
We stop at the traffic lights, and whilst we wait
I copy down the number from his number plate.
There’s a telephone number there upon his van –
“Oh yes, now I’ve got you - you nasty little man.”
I write down his number whilst feeling quite cross,
But early next morning I speak to the boss.
Number plate is noted, the driver is confirmed –
“Is this the sort of person to represent your firm?”
The boss is also angry. He waits until he’s back –
Then with cards at the ready, he gives him the sack.

A strange thing that such behaviour seems to become a trend in the whole of Europe nowadays. When I was a kid (which isn't that long ago) only Germans did that. Now it seems to be almost normal everywhere. | Hi Josie Written by jean.day (2257 comments posted) 13th October 2007 | I enjoyed this, and sang along, as it were - but felt the need of a "Big John, Big Bad John" in between the verses. A couple of weeks ago, en route to a bridge drive, my friend whose car was parked in such a way as to make it difficult for the huge lorry collecting recyclables to pass - asked him if he would like him to move his car. The answer was yes - so he started to go to move it - but the man mistakenly thought he had given him a two finger sign as well -and blared his horn and demanded he come back and was about ready to fight him. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Tom moved his car, and the van got through - but it certainly left a bad impression. | Thanks both Written by Josie (2732 comments posted) 14th October 2007 | Just to say that this is not a true story. Poets are notorious liars when it comes to storytelling. Just a thought sometimes. You see, we have little narrow roads in some parts of Yorkshire where you just have to stay behind someone. When someone uses them for a short cut, but wants to go at breakneck speed, my answer to them: Start out earlier. Don't expect me to break the speed limit or do dangerous things on your account. Is there a song writer out there. What should the chorous be? | Written by Phil (6645 comments posted) 14th October 2007 | Entertaining little ditty Josie. Phil. |
