The Psyclepath

Introduction

Today three cyclists told me to get out of their way while I was walking, even though there was a cycle path they could use> I didn't move forcing them to go around me.

This didn't happen and I have made it into an Acrostic using the word SENSE.

The music is Elvis Costello's cover of "Psycho" by Leon Payne and Eddie Noack.

    Gosh the audacity and stupidity! I'm glad you didn't move for them. Loved your poem!

    My brain must be taking the day off. I didn't quite notice the title on the first read. Very clever!

    I really liked the title- play on words.

    Hilarious! I went to a university where bicycles were prominent, and I wish that I had had this kind of spine to stand up to them sometimes. I just moved. 🀣 Well done.
