the taxi drivers


Taxi drivers
For years they got free
Without using metered fares
They cowed you instead

The authorities raided
Half measured then forgot
The old tricks returned
Taxi drivers smile while driving

Once I took a cab
Instead of using the usual road
He took the round about way
I asked him why he took the long cut

I want to avoid traffic jam”
But there is no choked up traffic
I worked here before in the city”
Nay...I want to earn a living”

Now free bus service in the city
The taxi drivers get agitated...
It is time they learn to follow rules
Don't fleece the locals and tourists
