Taxi Cab Driver

T Tips are adding up fast A And you can see the meter rolling hard X 'Xasperating to watch your hard earn money being spent I It might be better to not see how many accidents you have almost had C Cabbie drives wrecklessly, through two inch spaces, A Afraid for your life, you clutch the door, and the seat ahead of you B But you are not there yet, and you are in New York City D Deliberate attempts to kill you have not been successful yet R Racing heart, you dare not look away, from your final destination I In the throes of scary, you are terrified you are going to be smashed up V Vigorous driving, fast paced, then slamming on the brakes, wham. Whip. E Enthusiastic smiles from the man who has your life in his hands. R Relieved you have arrived in one piece, deciding never again.

I have had a few journeys like that whilst in London and they are scary, especially when he is also on his mobile phone! Very cleverly done Caren with imagery that instils total fear! Hoping you have turned a corner with the S word dear friend. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

I have to say that I am going to ignore the "S" and it must be gone by morning. I have no energy left for such nonsense. Thank you for the kindest thoughts my friend.
