 *"Never get killed doing something ordinary, like crossing the road, do
they?"*
 --from a discussion list

 It was Christmas Eve at the bus stop
 And Raymond was starting to fade.
 He'd been waiting for almost an hour
 (The third car this week he'd mislaid).

 A voice called from a Capri silver
 "Oh, lover, it makes my heart bleed
 "To see you there shivering sadly,
 "I'll give you a lift if you need."

 "About bloody time," answered Raymond,
 And recklessly ran to his mate.
 He didn't take time to look *both* ways,
 And the bus that arrived sealed his fate.

 -- THE END --
