Life Expressions Volume II People are funny as they drive,
Prompting you to wonder how
They ever arrive alive.
They weave through traffic from here to there,
Actually believing they are getting somewhere.
In and out I watch them weave
Hurrying to someplace they don't want to be.
Some get so angry it comes to blows
All because someone is driving to slow.
We all smirk, but we have to be fair,
Cause at one time or another
We all have been there.
That old coot, having the time of his life
Shouldn't even be allowed to drive.
That old broad with blue hair and bobby sox
Must have gotten her license from
a Cracker Jacks box.
Those kids look to young to have a car,
If they would pay attention to driving we
may go far.
Now why oh why did those people have to crash,
Don't they realize if I am late it costs me cash.
Well, might as well take my time
I will be late, I have made up my mind.
Would you look at that nut!
He's driving like a maniac...what a butt.
What is going through his head?
He keeps driving like that he will wind up dead.
Hmmm...wasn't that just me?
Wow...I think I just stepped into reality.
Bye now, we are on the move so I can start to drive
Think I'll slow down, and at home I will arrive.
Goin' to take the day off and watch those maniacs drive.
Hahahahahahaha it is so good to be alive.
Hi Huck,
Somehow I would never like to drive, and I don't either. I never like to be in a hurry anymore. Your poem is a good lesson to keep alive.
After reading some of you works I found this one that made me feel that there all others who see this. Why are there so many people like this that don't know that they are doing this? I guess we all have our own sack of rocks. In your other works I found that you had "been there" and "done that". There are a lot of others like us others never see. But we're there just waiting in the background in case we have have to save and defend their asses just one more time. Really enjoyed your works.
i've slowed down over the years. 9/11 somehow helped my road rage, but so did my spiritual relationship w/God...
thanks for your thoughts. i realize i need to drive better some days. : )
hahaha, am i glad my Singapore roads aint as chaotic as yours, huck.
u described the scenes very vividly, and yes comically too.
Smilesz.
good food for thought.
thanxs for posting this enjoyable one ~!~
Very clever! This is one reason I never go to Atlanta if I can help it. I've never in my life seen such chaos as those interstate hiways merging and cars converging. LOL. This one's a keeper, Huck.
