Poem
Face fractured with fear As the Taxi drew near The building was in the next street " I'll drop you off here" Said Steve full of cheer (Annoyingly rather upbeat.) As you pushed on the door It's sticky hinge hissed And you drew in your breath At the scent of 'dentist' "Youre a little late" the lady said Do you live somewhere rural ?
