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

Won’t it be great to be traveling again? I have some friends I intend to see!

I really hope to be able to visit my family in Montana. I have a grandson whom I haven’t met up close and personal yet.

I have heard driving feels great. I don’t know because I haven’t learnt to drive yet. I was just about to get enrolled when this pandemic broke out. The poem is really great!😊❤️ Take care!

I’ve been lucky. I haven’t really had a commute for the past 34 years; I live about a half mile from where I work!

Susan, I am pleased you enjoyed the ride. The “dumb guy” with the windshield wipers was taken from a comedy recording heard years ago.

I wonder if the policemen was happy it could have been worse (the phone 😆).
Great Monday morning road memories.
