Traffic Poem by Darlene Walsh

Traffic

Rating: 3.5


Beep beep, move your car
Out of my way, I'm the star
I'll cut you off to get ahead
You drive like you're still in bed

Out of my way, this is my road
Move it you big fat sluggish toad
Off the road, stink up your own street
Get lost or your head I will beat

I'll fly over a lane without a blinker
When you see me coming, move you stinker
But if you try to cut in front of me
I'll cut you off and force you to flee

My tunes I will blast so all can hear
My horn I will blare if at all you dare
Get in my way and you'll feel my wrath
With my hot coffee I'll give you a bath

And when the police bring me to a halt
I will prove that it all was your fault
It could not possibly be my road rage
As the court reads my name off a page

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I was driving in New Jersey a little while ago, very different than the traffic I usually experience in North Carolina. As a young driver it is frightening what I've seen people do while driving, we could certainly use a bit more courtesy and care on our roadways.

this is from a couple of years ago: Driving Freedom [honk...Hooonk! ! ].......[independent Driver's Thoughts; Humor/Humour] - Poem by Bri Edwards Autoplay next video Honk! Honk! Hooonk! ! Yes indeed, I just love to blow my horn; it’s part of Driving Freedom..... the most fun I’ve had since being born. But some people are such killjoys. Over “rules” their minds do linger. In response to their “rules”..... and their dirty looks, I raise my middle finger! If I want to spin my wheels till they smoke, so what? Forget “air pollution”. If I can’t have freedom on the roads, why’d we fight The American Revolution? Yeah, I’m driving in the left lane of a two lane road. (it’s practice) Who’s caring? When I visit Dublin this Fall I plan to drive; I don’t want those Knuckleheads staring. And I never use my turn signals..... so stay out of my way, Stupid! Otherwise I may pretend you’re a Heart, and I’ll pretend I’m Cupid. I guess by now you’ve gotten the idea. It’s MY road to drive....AS I PLEASE. And rest assured, if I were Captain of a ship..... I would rule the Seas! bri Edwards

I ALMOST couldn’t write a better one! favorite lines: “I'll fly over a lane without a blinker When you see me coming, move you stinker” and “Get in my way and you'll feel my wrath With my hot coffee I'll give you a bath And when the police bring me to a halt I will prove that it all was your fault” ………but I know you aren’t so mean as to fling hot coffee! right? “toons” …. I find definitions of 1-‘cartoons’ and 2- an Asian tree and its wood or did you mean “tunes”, as from radio, or cd player? yes, I’ll save this to submit to my/our July’s showcase on my PH site. thanks. bri :)

This is hilarious. I have driven in New Hampshire and Massachusetts so I know exactly what you mean about driving habits on the eastern seaboard. But this was years ago, and since, I have encountered these scary driving techniques in many parts of the country, so I guess the virus is spreading. Loved reading this!
