I was wondering why a new Creative Writing Ink prompt hadn’t been put up for this week – turns out, the version of the site I normally go to hadn’t been updated, hence my somewhat late offering! This is the best my brain can manage in 15 minutes after a week at work:

London Taxi (supplied by Creative Writing Ink)

Taxi! Taxi!

Taxi! Taxi!
One hurries past but ignores my plight,
waiting alone in the dead of night.

Taxi! Taxi!
Try hailing again but they’re already taken
so I carry on trying, frustrated, forsaken.

Taxi! Taxi!
Anytime now I’ll be lucky, surely,
and a cabbie will come to take me to Horley.

Taxi! Taxi!
Right, that’s it, I’ve had enough,
as I head for the bus, in a right old huff!
