Oh Mighty SpeedBreaker!

I drive through the silent darkness, all alone,
If I don’t see you in time, I’ll surely break a bone!
God knows what was in the mind of your maker,
All hail thee, You are the mighty Speed Breaker!

Unmoving on the road, you lay in your slumber,
10-to-1, even the mighty buffaloes you outnumber!
Instead of warning us to be careful and slowly tread,
Why do you put up a sign that says “Hump Ahead?”


And then there’s your cosuin, the infamous pothole,
Seems like you’re a part of the Indian road’s soul!
As soon as the rain comes I hear you cheer,
‘Cause in infinite numbers you can now appear!

God only knows why the hell you exist at all,
Slowing down traffic that’s already in a crawl!
Only bike guys with girlfriends really like you,
They brake sharply and come a little closer too!

    Yes… At least speed breakers have SOME benefits :)

    Thanks. I hate them. Had a very bad fall on the outer ring road and that too on an Enfield Thunderbird, I wouldn’t recommend that experience!!

    It’s quite interesting how they pop-out of nowhere.

    ah yes the pothole… the upside down cousin of the hump it is… and i wonder why they bother putting humps in the first place since the potholes seem to do the same job although in a slightly messier fashion

    I think no. of humps is directly proportional to no. of ppl died in BMTC bus accidents.
