Car driver's gripe

I do empathise with cyclists when

their aim is to cut our air pollution

but if I'm driving a country lane

they are a cause of much frustration.

And it's always annoying at having to crawl

behind one going uphill at no speed

but it's just the last straw to trail after

one taking his dog for a walk on the lead !

Beach Boy ?

There's one little fellow goes to my gym

who might be even older than me !

Certainly he's more frail, him,

and I was astonished later to see

that when we both left the gym together

and I drove away in my cheap old car,

he drove his red two seater sports car -

no John B sloop but a little deuce coupe !

Buddleia

Butterfly bush living up to its name

lured by sunshine various came -

small tortoiseshell, whites, a peacock or two,

red admirals mainly, more than a few.

How is it that so much of British culture

has recently become so juvenile ?

Besides the soaps and TV game shows

why are adults reading Harry Potter,

playing and comparing video games,

following proliferating superheroes

and indulging in alien fantasies -

while the juveniles watch pornography ?
