The Taxi Fare

The Taxi Fare

By Paul McCann

Its three hours from here to where I’m going ,

cats eyes are shining on the road .

It’s late at night and its suddenly its snowing ,

speed is a  killer on the road   .

Neon signs are glowing ,

drive but don’t drink ,

there are always some who never stop to think .

They’ve always had time to kill

but never any time to spare

and  they say can’t afford the taxi fare .

Get home safely , pay the price ,

there’s no need to hurry , don’t think twice

just  grab a phone , call that number

talk to the taxi man

and make your plan to get  home .

The traffic almost stopped in front of me ,

with the wreckage of a car wrapped around a tree  .

I took a breath and said a silent  prayer

for the driver trapped Inside  there .

Drinking and driving  on the road ,

it’s always  a stressful overload

a drink  or two keeps you there,

but one too many ,

better take care .

Find the price of a taxi fare   .

Get home safely , pay the price ,

there’s no need to hurry , don’t think twice

just  grab a phone , call that number

talk to the taxi man

and make your plan to get  home .
