The M25 Affair
By mishmish
03 June 2006
This is written for everyone who've ever encountered that truly wonderful behemoth of British road design!Smile

Stuck here on the M25
Feeling I'd like to disembowel alive
The Transport Minister in charge of this mess
Or the prat who's put me under this stress

I'm late for the meeting, of course
Could have got there quicker on a horse
Don't know why I didn't use a road marked A
But hey, there's nothing I can do or say

Turn on the radio
Listen to a tune
Just try not to fume
Hold back on the road rage
Although it's brewing
By this stage

Hey wait a minute, it's moving now
What was the reason?
Maybe a stray cow...

The pace is picking up
But no reason to be seen
Not knowing why, after all this wait
Well, that's just mean
Like one of life's great mysteries
The gridlock will remain,
I know next time...
I'll take the bloody train!

Before you do,sweetie, you ought to know the rail system isn't much better. Last time I took a train they made us get out at Reading put us on a bus and guess what we ended up on theM25! 
A Very funny and (I'm guessing heartfelt) poem. I liked that you took the time to make it rhyme and scan.all the better for it 
Nice work

Thanks for your comments. Maybe I'll do one on the trials and tibulations of taking the train!!
