APRIL TWENTY FOUR
THE SCOOT
The budget backstreet scooter skids off the road
Kids these days the car driver mutters and drives on
The electric scooter and a teenager left bungled into the thicket
trapped like a wild animal caught by its horns
Mum will kill me thinks the lad and Dad will confiscate the scoot
what will I do he wails how will I get to school or anywhere now
I hate going on the bus and walking is out of the question these days
with all those gangs out to get your phone your money and your life
The kid drags his badly damaged scooter out from the hedge
brushes himself down and starts to walk back home
dragging the tangled wreck of an electric machine behind him
a useless piece of equipment now surplus to requirements
My pride and joy he thinks the thing that I saved up for for so long
hoping against hope that someone can repair it for him quickly
