Poem Artwork

My tractor is red, an elite Freightliner

The trailer is decked out with sexy racing stripes

A smooth ride in an air lifted driver’s chair

Everything is nearby

Nothing out of reach

 

A twin bunk right behind me

And an extra just above

All the comforts of home

All my favorite CDs loaded in the deck

My CB turned on and squelched

 

Pillows on my bunk turn it into a daybed

For I drive at night

When commuters and travelers are home

Safely tucked into their dreams

The night belongs to the big rigs

Hauling the items that make life pleasant

 

Little traffic except for other 18 wheels

Kenworths, Peterbuilts, Volvos, Freightliners

New or old still with a job to do

Eating salads or steaks not always at a truck stop

Life is still dangerous for a trucker girl

Thanks for this imaginative and evocative window into another world, a secretive world of which most of us know very little.

BTW, that is my favorite song...

Lacey Annie will be a hit no matter where she roams. Do not carry a handgun to New York. They take a dim view, and if you do, never tell thsm you have one. Take care.

Yes it is, and I hope that you will never take any unnecessary chances out there on the long and often lonely road. Be safe but tell us lots of trucking stories each time you return.

AND, where is your 45? Better have one. I think all truckers carry one for their safety. Please, be safe.

Annie,

Gotta haul that freight, beep beep (or, in the case of bigrigs, BEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP LOL). A gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do. Still, and all, I would love to do this...once...not drive a bigrig, just ride along...come through Texas, stop by, pick me and my twin sister Karen up (after picking up Karen Palumbo--she's north of me)! Even if just around the block. LOL Love this write. Love YOU, more. :) Stay safe!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Ah, but there is nothing like life on the road. Sure it gets to you after a while and those epsom baths are a rare treat, but I love the travel and all the wonderful people met along the way...... If you are ever hauling through Texas let me know, you are always welcome....
Great write!

Be safe,

Just be careful, that's all I ask. I will keep you (and your rig) in my prayers, pray for protection on you and your rig. God bless, Annie!
