Not Always a Bad Day For a Cabby

A cabdriver's day can be
partly bad luck, partly glee;
             just always be on your toes,
             you won't get a bloody nose.

There, backseat lovers snuggle,
softly coo to each other;
             next minute they just quarrel,
             snarl, shriek and commit murder.

A celestial chick hops in,
stuns you cold with just a wink
             and a magnum in your rib,
             gets your cash, you fail to think.

A jealous hubby tells you
to zoom after a chopper
             for his wife and her lover;
             leaps out your door, game over.

Scared bank robbers kick you out
of your cab, your mouth they gag;
             in panic they leave behind
             oodles of dollars in a bag!
