When were you last blown away?

NO TIP 
 
Can you put your cases
in the boot?
said my Uber driver,
when he pulled up in his taxi.
 
Some of these guys
are so lazy I thought.
He’s just wrecked
any chance of a good tip.
 
I chatted as I always do
to taxi drivers.
I’m keen to get their story
and why they do this job.
 
I’m originally from
Cambodia, he said.
I lost my left leg when a landline
went off. I was seven.
 
This country has been
very kind to me.
And this is a great job
for someone with one leg!
