The Bright Yellow Band


In darkened alleys

And streets foreboding

They lie in wait

For Lorries unloading.

With yellow lines

Around their cap

They don’t half talk

A lot of crap.

You can’t park here

Upon these lines

Otherwise you’ll have to pay

A lot of fines.

To which the lorry driver replied

Under his breath

If you don’t scarper

There will be a death.

The traffic warden held his ground

The lorry driver made no sound

But became increasingly thrilled

When the traffic warden fell into a hole.

Which was about to be filled

The traffic warden certainly did swear

Waving his cap high up in the air

The tarmac then filled where the hole had been.

And when you looked all that could be seen

Was a little scrawny hand

Holding a hat

With a bright yellow band.
