Everyones in Such a Rush

Hope this qualifies for the "Mainstream" category? I just "writes em' as I see's em'! LOL! Sorry to all those blond & courteous driving young ladies out there...!

“EVERYONES IN SUCH


           A RUSH”


 


 They fly past on shoulders made of dirt,


 No sense to it, an accident waiting to happen,


 Sorry to the ladies that are courteous,


 But most of these “fliers” seem to  wear a skirt.


 


 These crazies treat the roads like battlefields,


 Their car the tank, blasting others without thanks,


 No waves, no hand gestures of recognition,


 Most are young & it seems, blond & on the phone.


               


 They ride bumpers with no thought they could end up


 in court,


 Or worse yet, in a body cast, just as fast,


 Don’t worry they could kill another,


 That being could be another’s mother.


 


 But what do they care, they have no worries,


 As long as they get where they’re going in a hurry. 


 


                                                                                (ed)

Well said (even if I were a blonde before the gray set in). . . Especially this time of year, the "rush" takes away from the true reason of the season. Let's all take some time, if nothing else, to smile at someone, call a loved one, visit a friend, whatever . . . Happy Holidays, folks! and be safe!!!!!!!! b

I can relate to this, after having been placed in the crash dummy position by a reckeless female, full pelt up the rear end of the car behind us, making two up our respective rear end.
I got out of the car, cursed her, then collasped.
Whiplash, and other injuries later...... I got even and bought a 4wd, and now I hold up these speed demons, mostly women with pleasure.
No offence ladies, but, make up, and cell phones dont mix it with traffic.
Anyone that wants to plow into my Paj with bullbar, does so at their own peril now hehe.

Thats my rant,
And may I say, there are alot of lunatic blokes on the road too, HAHA, had yah going mate.

:) Even Duchess agree's

What does Rufuz think?

A good accounting of the potential for road rage although, in these parts, it's not usually the gals who seem to cause it. Thanks for the rant. Love and peace, Regis.

A great deal of truth put very well, too bad the fliers probably will never take the time to read it

HA HA! Some VERY true words in here! But, I see as many men as
women on cell phones (have been hit by two men who were on
cell phones, and one woman who was on cell phone).

Opps blushing on this one. I use to have a lead foot when it came to driving. Then I moved to the mountains and suddenly I felt no need to rush ever again. Of course watching cars coming to town with broken windshields might of helped the change. Great write!

time to start the anti-auto revolution

that's what some of us say
bus, metro, plane, train
ah...the auto was meant for leisurely excursions
carrying tokens to say "we are on vacation" not in a hurry

interesting poem on road rage

thanks,
donna.
