Mobility Scooters

                                                                         MOBILITY SCOOTERS

There like a mobile army

Or Daleks on Doctor Who

Where have they all came from?

I just haven't got a clue

Silently building up their numbers

Hiding in every nook and cranny

I'm on about mobility scooters

Driven by a granny

Oblivious to everybody

Or the surroundings that they're in

There just like a bowling ball

And everyone's a pin

They seem to go right for you

At your feet they do take aim

Seeing how many they can take out

For them it's like a game

They never even say sorry

You're lucky if they give you a glance

Crouched up like racing drivers

Wearing Tenna pants

Be it roads or pavements

They just don't seem to care

The HIghway Code doesn't apply to them

It's like it's only them there

You need to dive for cover

When you see them head your way

And they really come out in force

When it's pension day

You see them when you're shopping

Weaving to and fro

And when you try to pass them

There's no where for you to go

So my friends please heed my warning

About this danger we all do face

A traffic warden should give them all a ticket

And put them in their place

This is refreshingly hilarious! I was very attracted by the title, since it's an unusual topic & I was not disappointed by your uninhibited approach. It felt like your poem got a little more emphatic & outlandish as you went along, which also made it fun, becuz it felt like a spoof. Some people write spoofs on the foibles of the elderly, but it doesn't always come across as fun or funny to me (being disabled). But this is lighthearted observations taken to the extreme, as if channeling Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" for the current generation of baby boomers! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Glad you enjoyed it...I'll be honest I thought it was rubbish and I've done a lot better in different poems. Thanks for your kind words

Great fun. Your poem put a smile on my face and all I am going to say is, there does appear to be an army of them around. Great though that disabled people are out and about :) Well written.
