There is nobody following
me and even if there was,
so what, I am not going to
make any accommodations
for them.

Years ago, I removed my
rear view mirror, no need
for it, not necessary, I have
enough to contend with out
front.

Especially when I am behind
women drivers, they only use
the mirrors to put on lipstick,
they never look back, I give
them the fingers all the time.

Saint Christopher, the patron
saint of travellers was sacked
by the Catholic Church not long
after the test was made easier
and females took to the roads.

Insurance companies were
inundated with claims, priests
were being called out to anoint
people and as always, the badge
of this saint on the dashboard.

Statistics became available, the
accident rates exploded, all
because some drivers, like myself
were convinced that there was
nobody following them.

So, if you are female and think
that I am a right chauvinistic
*******, you'd be right, but, but,
sure I'm only having the craic, I
don't mean it, are you following me ?
