Chariots for Hire

Hail the palatial cabbies

Dougie the Cabbie

A knowledgeable hound

A streetwise conveyor profound

With memory flair

Will arrive anywhere

A mind-map of routes all around

Picking up fares

When the hire-light glares

To a journey that’s anyone’s guess

Maybe a tour or a sightsee explore

Wheeler dealing his Taxi Express

In a city of streets

Where the plentiful meets
Politicians with cabinet seats

Rest assured that he would

For the great and the good

Every journey time promptly completes

This rhyme is written specially for
