Cab Driver! (A Funny Story) Poem by Edwin Drood

A taxi passenger tapped the driver, Santa, on the shoulder to ask him a question. Santa screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimetres from a shop window.
For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then Santa said, 'Look sir, don`t ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me! '
The passenger apologized and said, 'I didn`t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.'
Santa replied, 'Sorry, it`s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver - I`ve been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years.
