A slave to the traffic light…J


RED,


Yellow,


Green,


RED,

YELLOW,


GREEN,


I swear I am gonna scream…J


 


All day long,


Did I run that light,


Did I do wrong,                       


Oh shit a cop,                  


Did he see me,


Should I have made that stop…?


 


Pulled over,


Red & Blue lights,


A bright white spot,                      


Blinding me, a k-9 unit,        


In the back of the car sits Rover…


 


I am a slave to the damn traffic light,


How many times must I stop in a day,


Pull over and get out of my way,     


Before road rage does take over,


And I do with a shotgun blow you away…J

You need to be in the south! Well, not Atlanta or Birmingham etc. but a bit farther down where life is as relaxed as moss hanging on trees. Good rant.

You best move to Elko, Nevada before you, too, hurt someone in a road rage hunting accident.

Well Ed, you're in the wrong state! You should be in Elko, Nevada where you would LOVE to be a SLAVE to the traffic light. You see, the light stays red 24/7 and the madam will line the girls up for you to pick from so you can be their slave...the red light legalized brothel where Lotta Bush and Kitten will blow you away! Ladies of the fine evening will even let you be a cop in doggie patrol. Gives new meaning to clutch time. You can even ride shotgun!
