As hanging out wet clothing
Brings rain from sunny sky;
As focusing your loathing
Means headaches, by and by;
As spending that last dollar
Accelerates the drop
Of new bills in your letter-box,
Till bills o'er fill the top;
Then so it is, when boring
Flat-chat along some road,
Speed limit signs ignoring,
And safety of your load,
Your foolishness is challenged:
Not by the Hand of Fate,
....But by great shiny Four-Wheel Drive,
inches from your date.
