Speed Awareness Doggerel, Parts One and Two

Several years ago, I went on a speed awareness course.

*Just because it looks like you’re taking notes, it doesn’t mean that you are, 

or, 'Beware of poets "taking notes" '*

Part One: Course Leader Triolet

All patronizing, dull, verbose,

Diminutive and witless too,

But interesting? Not even close,

From Patronizing-Dull-Verbose,

Who wants to give us all a dose.

He thinks he’s funny; that’s not true.

All patronizing, dull verbose,

Diminutive and witless too.

(Being diminutive was his only saving grace)

Part Two: Woeful Doggerel to Stave off Boredom

We drivers, who have all been slightly naughty,

Like doing forty-six instead of forty,

Or failing to recall our cars were nifty,

By doing fifty-eight within a fifty,

Or seeing if our cars could speed aplenty,

By going twenty-nine instead of twenty,

Are gathered in a room to be subjected

To idiotic tedium, directed

Towards each careless automotive criminal,

Thus keeping any future speeding minimal.
