Woman Driver

I've damaged the side of the car,
scraped it along a wall 
too low for me to see, 
as I reversed round the corner. 
He won't let me forget. 
It's only a small scratch 
but he'll remember it to kids, 
family, neighbours, 
milkman, 
cat, 
dog, 
budgie, 
postman, 
lollipop lady, 
speaking clock, 
Cousin Gerald in Australia, 
girl at the supermarket checkout.
