I packed my ham sandwiches, I packed my flask of tea,
What a wondrous day it was going to be!
My boyfriend had bought me a ticket for a coach - tour of the M25!
Oh, it made me ecstatic, just to be alive!
However, as the hours went by,
I cannot lie,
I grew sick of cars, lorries and motorbikes,
I wish my boyfriend and I had gone one of our legendary Cumbrian hikes.
I still see him now and then, when I can drag him away from the hard shoulder,
Oh, I hope I find someone else before I get older!
'This poem was inspired by a newspaper article I read about a coach - tour of the M25 motorway and a woman whose boyfriend bought her a ticket for the coach - tour. For those of you who are non - UK residents - a 'hard shoulder' is a part of the motorway.'
