Poem Artwork

 


A load of water bound for Atlanta


In two rigs, go down to Orlando


I am bound for Florida,


Land of oranges and Mickey Mouse


 


Glad I drive at night


Rest stops are full to the brim


Not an empty spot to park


We take turns having a rest stop


 


All night long, the wheels turn


I am standing on the accelerator


Just to make the speed limit


The other driver is behind me


 


Distribution center has two docks open just for us


No other trucks are in the yard


Have our choice of docks


Not a problem backing into the slot


 


Back on the road, we need fuel


Stop and get it. Boy, the stares I get


I set up the pumps on either side


One hundred fifty gallons in each side


 


One thousand eighty nine dollars


Company fuel card is in my pocket


Glad I don’t have to pay the fuel


A quick shower and back on the road


 


The rest stop is empty of big rigs


Where we park for the day


Sleep is what we need now


Tonight we finish the run


 


Home for Christmas


My last run before this special time of year


Merry Christmas Family and Friends!


Love to all this special time of year!
