As a matter of fact I do own the whole damn road...

Weird day to drive yesterday spawned this write...

As a matter of fact I do own the whole damn road…!


 


Hey you, keep out of my way,


If you can’t drive stay out of my state,


Yeah you, go back to Hawaii,


Leave us to drive however we damn well choose…


 


What part of me waving my hand for you to cross,


Do you not understand?


Am I doing it in the wrong language?


Or would like me to bring next time a brass band…?


 


No turn signal do you use,


Were they an option on Jap crap cars that year?


Oh geez, don’t let me get you upset,


I wouldn’t want you to cry and for the rest of the day, fret…


 


It is a federal law to turn on your headlights when your wipers are also on,


I can hardly see you coming from the opposite direction,


Let alone when you are behind me with no lights,


So what if I stop short, if you had your lights on,


I may have seen you back there and tried instead to swerve,


Boy, considering you have no idea where you are going, you’ve got some nerve…

Where I live (Florida) the cars that invade our roads are 100% American, and usually mini vans piled to the luggage compartment with tourists reeking of coconut oil...and of course all are driving at a whopping 35 mph and IN MY WAY when I'm late for work. Hee hee! Funny write Ed.

Keep on ranting, Ed. The trouble is, if a few of them get the message, there are still plenty more driving right behind them.
