A Perfect Road Hog

Desperate to get some work done
I got hold of some boiled sweets
lovely to taste, creating adrenaline
high, sugar fluctuation, worked like
a horse through the afternoon

When I got hold of my big monster
car I accelerated down every street
cut in front of every slow-moving
vehicle, a perfect road-hog, making
Auntie Medusa of The Rescuers

Look like the sweetest being on earth,
putting a halo around the head of Cruella
DeVille of a 101 Dalmations fame, as I
stormed down the road, cars spread out
to make space, I enjoyed the sensation

While my blood raced and Nici closed her
shocked eyes, too scared to see her mother
drive…
