In this world some people are very selfish
Who
consider no one else in the world at all
I
am thinking of one particular individual
I
encountered at the Methodist church hall
I
was there to drop my son to beaver scouts
And
he his daughter to dance class in the hall
It
was the first time our paths had crossed
This
is the sequence of events as I can recall
He
was blocking the entrance to the car park
His
car was sat right in the middle first of all
As
there is only one entrance to the church
The
local traffic had soon slowed to a crawl
It
was a puzzle why he’d stopped it seemed
For
no apparent reason as far as I could see
He
was oblivious to the sound of car horns
Or
ironic cheers as he moved off eventually
He
was so arrogant or so stupid that he made
No
acknowledgement of his transgression
A
tuneless chorus of car horns continued
Noisily
expressing our anger and frustration
He
then proceeded slowly to the car park
I
swear he was driving as slowly as possible
He
parked his car in such a way as to occupy
Two
spaces and render a third inaccessible
Then
finally our paths crossed again inside
In
the small cafeteria where his wife and he
Sat
at one table while filling another one
With
bags and coats to add insult onto injury
My
feelings towards him were, I must confess
Of
a very unchristian nature I must concede
Though
I feel no guilt for my feelings at all
After
all he was a very selfish bastard indeed
