Mobility Scooters

Mobility Scooters

A Poem by George David Hope

                                                                         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

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.

For sure they are everywhere. this is a good poetic reflection on their abundance
Mine has a heat seeker on it so watch your back
