No More Road Rage in Thames Ditton

The village of Thames Ditton
So lovely and so quaint
In Domesday book we're written
But built for cars we aint

St Leonards Road, the High Street
Cars parked aside the road
Drive careful it's a tight squeeze
On Station and Watts Road

The roads in our proximity
Are full of cars and vans
We don't like any toxicity
When walking out with prams

If you happen to drive thru
We're not a fast food take away
But a busy bustling village true
Not some dual carriage way

It requires a certain patience
Let oncoming traffic through
Especially if by the station
We'll thank you it if you do

We're of certain era
We're of a certain age
Instructions can't be clearer
Please no more road rage

No place for single finger salutes
This will cause much scorn
In our approach we're resolute
No more beeping horns

When stopping behind the parked cars
Or at pedestrian lights
Stay calm we want no lasting scars
Please be nice, polite

Be sensible with your parking
Leave a gap or two
For people to wait in
Let oncoming traffic through

Your car we know's important 
If doing the school run
You've Busy lives and time is scant
It's stressful and not fun

We'd appreciate it kindly 
And this is what we'd  like
If you're coming to Thames Ditton
Please walk or ride your bike!
