Mr Fog
A man drove home one winter’s night;
Too fast, one might surmise;
For soon he saw a blue light
Flashing right before his eyes.

He pulled into a lay-by;
Wound his window down to see
A rather large policeman there,
As pompous could be.
‘Now, where might you be going, sir?
This car belong to you?
I’ll see your license, if you please,
And check the boot out, too.

‘Conditions are not good enough
For driving at the limit.’
The driver said, ‘ok’, and thought,
‘ I’ll thump him in a minute!’
![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)
He said ‘ well visibility is fine;
They haven’t forecast snow;
The traffic’s very light now,
And I haven’t far to go.’

The traffic cop persisted
As he read the driver’s log;
‘And what would you have done,
If you’d encountered Mr Fog?’
![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)
The driver’s irritation rose;
‘Don’t treat me like a twit’,
He thought; ‘well two can play that game,
You patronising git.’
![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)
He said; ‘I’d have made sure
That Mr Fog Lamp was awake,
Then carefully applied my
Freddy Foot to Bertie Brake. ;D
The copper said, unsmiling,
‘Let me give your ears a jog:
I asked what you’d have done
If you’d encountered mist or fog.’
