Heavy Right Foot
Heavy Right Foot
The clatter of the letter box
And post on the mat
Sends a shudder of fear
So I cuddle the cat
My hand shakes
And my heart beats fast
I did something wrong
In the recent past
I know they are coming
Handcuffs and fines
Cart me off
For serious crimes
My foot too heavy
On the pedal of fun
And like a speeding
Bullet, out of a gun
I did the worst
A driver can do
Eighty miles an hour
Curse my right shoe.
I shudder and shake
Never broke the law
If my licence they take
Will I get parole?
