Poem Artwork

A giant red Freightliner pulls up to the pumps


One on either side


The door opens and a small white Reebok appears


Black denim jeans, a red winter jacket, black gloves


A curly blond head tops off the clothes


 


She stands by the truck reaching into her pocket


Then goes to the passenger side to set up the slave pump


Back to the driver’s side to set up the master pump


She stands 5’3”, a blonde curly mop over chocolate brown eyes


A button nose with a sprinkling of freckles running across


 


A buxom lass that declines offers of help


(The “boob” fairy was obsessed with her)


She wants the respect of other drivers


To be a real driver, one of the safest around


 


 


A Sincere Plea!


Please, my friends, if you drive an auto,


Be cautious around the big rigs!


We have blind spots and cannot see you all the time


We cannot stop on a dime; it takes us a minute or so


Please don’t turn out in front of us


Your life isn’t worth the risk


 


Watch out for us and help the big rigs see you


Get around them quickly and don’t stay in the blind spot!


I don’t want to lose any of you or those important to you


To a preventable accident!

Beautiful lady, the rules of the road must be followed, yet so many seem not to think about it. Well, sooner or later they do learn. So good to hear from you and hope all is going well for you....

Be safe,

You should get a bumper stick made that says "Stay out of my blindspot. Be a preventable accident!" Good advice. I have a strong belief that you are already a respected truck driver.

Take care. God bless you. Kathy

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
