The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 162 Poem by Flying Lemming

“Need a cab? need a cab? A taxi costs a lot
why waste your cash, I’ll get where you’re going like a shot
Just tell me what’s your destination
Don’t dwell on that hesitation
You’ll be quite safe along with me
No need for an expensive official taxi”
Now shut in the car with your bags in the boot
You don’t recognise this route
“It’s a back way there, I know where to go”
At a dark quiet place he starts to slow
The driving’s erratic to test your endurance
He has no road tax or car insurance
No licence either, but he’s got a knife
A cheap trip that might cost your life
