A Trucker's Day

A big Mack truck Can get stuck good In muck road ways. Put on the chains Traction gains hold Hate rains in Spring. It’s a mell of a hess But I guess a Good test of nerves. Then I’ll get back Wash the Mack and then stack the chains. End the day’s strife See my life love, my wife. I’m home.

The perils of winter driving are well conveyed in your poem, Rob. Amazing how you were able to tell a story using this form. I think most of us had trouble just coming up with one verse. Awesome! Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
