The Old Codger’s Revenge

I never knew exhaustion until I hit the road
And traveled miles and miles of highway
In slightly overloaded mode
The traffic was horrific
The maniacs were out
They drove with no concern for life
While skirting roundabouts.

Four lanes, six lanes, 8 lanes, 10
Each jockeying for position
You’d think that one-half second gained
Was worth the Big Transition.
Where time and tide give not a damn
About our driving skills
Still some test Fate up to the hilt
While texting new found thrills.

It’s a way of life around the world
To seek a little danger
To converge at 90 miles per hour
On friend or foe or stranger
To push the envelope to test the edge
With other people’s lives
To some it’s just a game of chicken
To see which one survives.

There’s got to be an antidote
A way to stop this madness
And let all those who want to live
Delay that day of sadness
I’m working on a blinking sign
To post for all to view
“I’m crazy old and really pissed
And I'm coming after you.”
