A Wait on the Interstate

What the heck's the matter with you mate, And why are you on the interstate? I'm growing increasingly irate. That's why your driving I will berate, If you don't quickly increase your rate. Next, I'll pull all the hair out of my pate. God forbid that I should have to wait.

your Acrostic reminds me of my husband who's easily annoyed with slow drivers anywhere, anytime. I can hear him now muttering your last line under his breath. :-) Nicely done. Have a splendid evening, Sara

Haha, thanks - I think it's common - impatience on the road - guilty as charged!

Thanks Jan! Yep, I once noticed that I could drive for hours, from L.A. to San Francisco, and enjoy the whole trip, but a half hour in L.A. traffic, and my blood pressure goes up.
