Serves Him Right....

The boy racer drives like a nutter

down the high street

then onto the motorway

gets off the motorway.

Drives along some country roads

then into some seaside

town.

And starts to make a
twit of himself in the

resort.

Blasting his annoying air horn.

And revving his engine to

show off.

And starting to chatting up

some local lassies.

Saying you like my ride?

And the old folk of the town.

Are thinking.

Moron, twit, show off.

Later on in the evening.

Some local resident

Called Charlie.

Heard about this guy.

So came to offer him

a drag race along the quiet

seaside towns promenade.

At 1 am.

When everything is closed

and the streets are clear.

And if he lost.

He had to clear off and never

come back.

Unknown to this "boy racer".

Charlie's father had a Porsche.

And at 1 am he arrives in it.

Ready for the race.

And the racer boy was sitting in

his Volkswagon Polo.

With his flash wheel trims and mad two toned

the coloured car with his annoying airhorn of course.

With his fluffy car seat covers

and hanging dice from the windscreen mirror.

And of course.

Charlie the local lad

Kicked his arse into touch.

And this other lad

had to leave and never

return to that seaside town again.

I guess the moral of

this tale.

Is stop annoying

locals of a place

you don't know.

As someone will come along and
outsmart you and

kick your butt.

As they did to this boy racer.

I love the voice you've developed in this poem, casual, conversational and authentic. It truly feels as though it is drawn from experience, and I know exactly the kind of individual that you're discussing here, having encountered similar people myself. Your use of repetition to drive home your point is wonderful, as is the line 'kicked his arse in to touch'. Basically I really enjoyed this, well done!

Thanks Patrick that was really nice of you. Dawn.

I agree dear Dawn. My father told me often. A strong man. If you believe, you are the baddest man in the city. Yell, it out. Someone will appear stronger and badder. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing tale and poetry.

Very well - quite familiar to me. Reminds me my college days, i guess. Bloody anger, raged outlets, passion of being a badass, and kicking out kiddo's little butts including tiny asses as well, and certainly receive the honor - the luxury - of being kissed, smooched, and tightly cuddled and surrounded by beautiful vanilla pies , short skits, high heels, wow rainbow gurls, married, divorced and all kinda breed - the varieties of ladies. Ah, that time!!

Nicely put. You have an unique way to make someone as nocturnal as me having your valentine-heart between my sharpen but sweeten teeth. Delighted and honored once again to revisit the terrace of your profile. Always worth taking some slight walks around your streets, and leaving you some formal and friendly "WOW" - a "Wine Of Wishes". Cheers, my love.

[Onlyme]

Well Dear Adams, so glad you enjoy this read, and brought back reminders of your youth. Your a sweet soul Adams. hugs. Dawn.

Haaa!!! You're damn right they will. I've seen this play out a million times. You always have such a great look at things Dawn. This one made me laugh.

[Onlyme]

Nice to hear you enjoyed this one Crowley.

Very interesting poem about the consequences of someone's actions. Many of us have done sometyhing stupid and may cost someone's life or our own.

[Onlyme]

As you read through this vivid journey there is such a sweet sense of victory. I grew up in a small farm town in California, and so I could relate... Teams from other towns would always make fun of us. Till we'd kick their arses.

I really like your style in this one, great story telling.
Perfect ending, bravo to the locals.
