It's eight o'clock
time to wake up
get ready for work
and iron my shirt
I get on the road
onto the freeway
this is what I do
every single day
Bumper to bumper
stuck in traffic
car to car
its just fantastic
if I caught the train
I might be on time
if I had a plane
id get the by nine
Just finished for the day
time to head back
guess I'll take the freeway
its the quick track
as soon as I get on
something is wrong
is it roadwork's again?
its driving me insane
Bumper to bumper
stuck in traffic
car to car
its just fantastic
if I caught the train
I might be on time
if I had a plane
id get the by nine
Yes, I'm finally here
I can kick back
and have a cold beer
its great to be home
now its time for tea
and then off to bed
tomorrow ill do it
all over again
well said and well crafted poem on daily life with a tinge of fun, like it..
Interesting and thought-provoking poem. It gives the reader that feeling of routine daily working life caught up in Traffic. The repetition of the second stanza...Bumper to bumper/ underscores the routine. Good flow and imagery. Thanks for sharing.
