To You, Unkind Sir!

To the owner of the minivan conveniently blocking my exit: May the sweat of a thousand footballers invade your nostril May the sound of a truck hooter invade your thoughts so shrill May you freely step into the dung of hundred elephants May your journey be accompanied by a thousand chants May your daybreak end in a two kilometer traffic standstill May your thoughtlessness be repaid in proper and full May your windscreen need cleaning at every stop May a red paintbucket on your bald head drop May you be mooned by a tribe of impis May a hundred roosters awaken you tomorrow May your every step result in a wish A wish that you never blocked my exit!

LOL with this one Fathima ... What are "a tribe of Impis"???? I have this imagery of things that look like gnomes all mooning ... LOL ... Oh, and yoou can always use "Free Verse" under the Form blank instead of "I don't know" ... the latter doesn't get you included in contests or features ...

Ok! Remind me to stay away from your exit and not to get in your way. LOL..I read this and was laughing and hoping that this poor fellow wouldn't get in the way of the voice in this piece. The voice speaks with force and venom...lol..hope he learned his lesson.
