Contact Lens Poem by Phil Soar

I saw life through a misty haze
I'd lost a contact lens
It made it hard to drive the car
When going round the bends
I crashed into a bollard
My other lens popped out
I couldn't see what I had done
I'd missed the roundabout
The policeman who approached me
Could have been a grizzly bear
All I could see were claws and teeth
And a rather angry stare
He asked me for my licence
I searched inside his car
And then he said 'please walk this line'
But I didn't get too far
I spent the night in lock up
They let me out next day
The day had been a cock up
And my sight had gone astray.
