Around the Truck With a Roar

Around the Truck With a Roar By Elton Camp Bob was driving home one day But a big truck got into his way “He’ll pull over or stop soon,” Bob, at first, did hopefully croon This road had many a blind curve Only an idiot around it would swerve Finally, Bob gave away to irritation And blew his horn in frustration The truck went slowly down the road For, in fact, he had a very heavy load Bob had no special deadline to meet Still he squirmed angrily in his seat “When that approaching car gets by, To pass that truck I’m going to try.” He shoved the accelerator to the floor His powerful engine began to roar Around the curve a Hummer came For the wreck, Bob was to blame Around the curve, lickety-split Bob’s car was beautiful, wasn’t it? The doctor said, “There’s naught I can do” Bob died that day, proving his words true From this sad tale, a valuable lesson learn Foolish changes, an early demise may earn
