Onto Oncoming Traffic
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”
- Dr. Seuss
Beams dim...beams bright
Headlights...too dark headlights!
Tyres screeching...eyes screaming terror’s thread
Sirens wailing a deafening... ‘Life’s under threat!’
A high speed chase onto one way traffic
Bells ringing...the crash paints chaos too graphic
Hurry, hurry...ambulance on the double!
On_off surviving grizzly-like-troubles
Fireman down the sliding pole... fire truck under the table
To the accident scene in the kitchen...survivors to unmangle
“Mommy...mommy have you seen the policeman?!”
“You ought to take better care of your toys young man!”
