Aging a bit and hoping to keep my driving days alive

I cannot help it, but laugh at how my troubles thrive

Driving on a dark, blackened road with high beams on

No dimming headlights, because I was singing a song

Driving on an icy road, too slippery for my car to fly

The windshield wipers shout and say, “Dumb Guy!”

Driving a bit too fast through a school zone

Sorry officer, at least I wasn’t on my phone

Creeping on a crowded freeway, feeling more like mice

Listening to car horns blaring out loud, never very nice

Navigating through a minefield of treacherous potholes

Pulling over to find a tire flattened from a massive hole

Driving home at the end of a long day, without even a grin

Stuck in slow, crawling commuter traffic, please not again

Parking at last, stress-filled driving finished for today

Hoping travels go a whole lot better, on the next day
