Bruce Nelson, a member of the faculty at the Anglo-American School of Moscow, gave me permission to share his limerick concerning driving in Mockva. It encapsulates the experience beautifully and for those of you who’ve been reading my posts and are saying to yourselves “He must be exaggerating – it can’t be that bad” Bruce’s limerick corroborates all I’ve been saying:
Thank you Bruce.
DRIVING IN MOSCOW ©Bruce Nelson,
Since driving in Moscow's insane,
I let my barbaric side reign
and always resist
those cars which persist
in taking the on-coming lane.
I drive straight at them without fear
of ending my life or career.
I just flash my light,
which seems to incite
their fury as closer we near.
Eventually they always choose
to not make the next morning's news
in lists of who died
when they did collide
with someone with nothing to lose
