Potholes 1

Potholes The joy of riding where the small ones have gone away turns into nothing at the big one minutes away. * This is about the joy of riding on the highway which has been recently repaired and re-laid, ridding it of its pits and potholes and the mortification of subsequently getting stopped by the traffic police or by the less-than-civil contract labor manning toll gates. 05 mar 13 Form: Grook ( A short aphoristic poem characterised by irony, paradox, brevity, sophisticated rhyme and often satiric in nature) Contest: A Grook for all occasions
