  1. From h2g2

    When we've driven the last cyclist from his toe-hold on the street Let us not become complacent, for
    the job is not complete There's another class of person lining up for our attention And he bends and
    breaks the law in every way that you could mention: The pedestrian. His blind insouciance is past
    endurance When it's WE who pay the taxes, pass the tests and buy insurance! We are gentle, kind,
    forgiving, but he does his best to thwart us As the heart-arresting jaywalker or traffic-jamming
    tortoise . . . We INVENTED good behaviour, he's determined to destroy it! And don't tell me to stop
    ranting, it's my right! And I enjoy it!

    name to Eric Fruit And now it doesn't rhyme
