Bubbles of excitement
Rising up in her throat
She couldn't believe what was happening
Being whizzed along a country lane
In an open-topped sports car
On a calm and beautiful Spring morn
Today they were going 'off-piste'
Down narrow roads that stretched out afar
Flanked by enormous fields and ancient old trees
Wild hedgerows and swayiing ripe crops
He dropped down a gear and put his foot down
She screamed with excitement and laughed out aloud
She felt sure they were going to take off at any moment
A fool-hardy rabbit dashed out in front
Crossroads straight ahead
Look sideways, straight ahead, a cursory nod and glance behind
Which path..for now..should they take?
