Poem – Ride and Dash (By Robert Beveridge)

Ride and Dash

 

He can always spot ’em

the ones

who’ll try to run

at a stoplight

get the ride for free

 

for them he keeps

the .38 under the seat

 

they always end up

being the most generous

of the night’s fares

 

he can call off

for the night

after one or two
