Who Invited These Creeps
A funny thing happened to me the other day
I started seeing leprechauns on the freeway.
They pinched my cheeks and giggled in my ear.
I was driving fast, but they kept getting more near.
I turned to the purple glittery unicorn in the front seat.
Asked him who invited these creeps? They are simply not sweet!
The unicorn said don’t blame me. It was probably the bear.
The grizzly in the back seat flipped his claws through my hair.
My speedometer said ninety, and the car was shaking now.
I was wishing for a cop to come and haul me off, somehow.
The leprechauns put their fingers around my hazel eyes.
Guess who? They asked. No big fat surprise.
Who else would distract me this way when I am learning to drive?
My driver evaluator dove onto the floor with a really quick dive.
You are not going to ever pass, she said, if I have my way.
Just another crummy instructor, from the DUV this weird awful day.
