Heavy Right Foot

Heavy Right Foot The clatter of the letter box And post on the mat Sends a shudder of fear So I cuddle the cat My hand shakes And my heart beats fast I did something wrong In the recent past I know they are coming Handcuffs and fines Cart me off For serious crimes My foot too heavy On the pedal of fun And like a speeding Bullet, out of a gun I did the worst A driver can do Eighty miles an hour Curse my right shoe. I shudder and shake Never broke the law If my licence they take Will I get parole? David Cox 17/02/23
