Traffic Light (A Limerick)

Blip! Blip! the yellow blinked
and the danger red winked
Phat! Phat! our car stopped,
and a beggar popped
amidst a stormy wind.

Thud! she stroke the window
and here begins the show,
stretched her arms for money,
"Go to the next there are many",
I said, her eyes looked low.

Damn! the light remained red,
Phew! faulty lights made us wait
Impatience made it a mess,
We followed the rest, no less
For sure all going to be late.

Fingers turned on the radio,
Shh! our volumes went low
Eagerness hooked onto traffic update
and kids busy on the internet,
where all traffic sucks? to know.

Mo! Mo! that evening turned miserable
A traffic light spewed curse horrible
Tring! Tring! better to walk or cycle
Moon will shine or stars twinkle
for an evening unforgettable.


Till we stuck somewhere
