EMERGENCY ROAD STOP

Police cars speed past.

Lights flashing, sirens screeching.

Anxiously, we gazed ahead to see what danger we might be meeting.

The traffic slows to a stop

To our amusement a couple of shepherds and their dogs,

Are strolling across the motorway guiding their flock.

In relief, we giggle and laugh at the sight

Of sheep, under police protection, moving to pastures new.

From the left side of the motorway across to the right.

It was nice to see that even today

Man and animals still, on occasions,

Have a safe right of way.
