Just the ticket

 

I’m not interested in your tales of woe,

It’s been quite a time it’s now time to go.

My ego’s so big I make people cower-

It feels so good to have all this power.

In all retrospect and all what you’ve said

I’ve no time to listen so be off instead!

While walking the streets I know I’m a pig,

Look out for victims and have a good dig.

You’ve caused this yourself – this consequence,

You know I’m around – it just don’t make sense!

Your face contorts and slowly turns gray,

You shouldn’t have left your dwelling today!

And if you continue to get in my way,

I’ll remind you that it’s me you’ll obey!

It feels as though I’m ten feet tall,

Sneaking around for the next person to pull.

They don’t count your points of view-

I know I’m right in everything I do.

So I’ll leave you now with face like thunder,

You’ve done me a favour causing this blunder!

With a smile on my face it’s a good job done

With bonus on top I know I’ve won.

You could have avoided paying this fine –

But instead you parked on two Yellow Lines!
