Let the Driver Beware

By Elton Camp Intending another driver to malign, Joe lifted a finger in an obscene sign The crude act he didn’t wisely choose For the other man had a very short fuse A bullet crashed in from the rear Giving Joe good cause to fear His accelerator he rammed to the floor The other car overtook him with a roar A volley of bullets whizzed by his head “Oh no!” said Joe, “I’m gonna be dead!” Soon his car with holes was riddled Because with a psycho he had fiddled There’s a lesson in this for you and me Filled with courtesy our driving should be If an inclination to rudeness we feel Think who might be behind the wheel
