Ordeal By Cab Driver Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Gloria Susindra frustrated said
“Indian cab drivers in melbourne
are effing idiots. Ungrateful
low lives who should be thankful

they have a job to do instead
of always cheating the fare n
taking the wrong way. Seriously idiots.”

How many times
bule (expatriates)
in Jakarta Indonesia
suffer a similar fate?

Let us not
count the times.

Let us be grateful
for all honest
cab drivers.

“Yes. I love it
when theyre nice n
leave a tip but
usually oh my goodness...”

Yes I also enjoy
leaving a happy tip
gratefully when not
taken for the wrong ride.


Dedicated to, inspired by, and quoted comments by Gloria Susindra.
