JUST DRIVE HE SAID!

I'm speeding I'm loving the feel

I turn on the lights. I up the gear.

I look at the speedometer increasing

20, 30, 40, 50,  over the limit.

I just don't care

I'm speeding;

Fast, furious, reckless

In higher gear. I'm free at last! Ha! Ha!

Oh! No!      No!         No!

I see red, blue lights flashing.

Flashing red, blue, red, blue.

I'm finished,

They're looking for me.

The poetic police

In poetic pursuit

Of me and my thoughts.

Shall I pull over

And lose my thoughts;

Arrested, imprisoned, lost?

Shall I let them give chase? 

Catch me if you can!

No! I decide to stop.

Poetic police open my door.

Exposing my thoughts

Naked to view.

We have clocked your words

Fifty kilometres per hour over the safety limit.

"What do you have to say for yourself, Sir?" asked the Poetic Police

"Poetry in Motion" I replied.

"Good answer Sir!" replied the Poetic Police.

"Drive on!"

Oh! I will!...

I have little to say, but a fun piece while on the run. I am glad they found your crime was sublime and released you to continue the climb to the top of the world with your words. That really is best. Nicely done.
