Traffic Incident, Sri Lanka

Madame, these three wheeled tuk-tuks Should be banned! Always in such a flurry! Last trip, no kidding, one pulled out in front to overtake Too late to brake (Family of five from the airport crammed inside) Straight under a lorry’s wheels! Flat as an old tin lid! Body parts everywhere. Road a river of blood Everywhere, too much hurry! There’s a fire ahead, we’ll drive around. A motorbike in flames…a Honda pyre Is that a boot I see? Don’t look! Don’t look! Where are the ambulances and the police? Not your concern, Madame, why spoil your holiday? See…shop boys come with pails, It’s not our worry
