PHOTOGRAPHY AND POEMS

NOT CASHING IN

I'm sure that someone knows the stats

Of rage attacks at bancomats.

"Apoplexy ATM"

Might be a better word for them -

The fuming state that you are in

When it says "No, that's not your PIN."

You try again, still doesn't work,

You're just about to go beserk

But keep control and swallow hard;

A third mistake, you lose your card!

Then, just before you do explode,

You realise you used the code

For your old card that lapsed last week

And now the bank has had the cheek

To link the new card to a set

Of different numbers to forget.

Some ATMs would seem to be

Intimidated now by me:

To forestall blows and words obscene

There's "Out of order" on the screen.
