Windshield Wipers

Most of them go side to side In rhythm and together, To keep our visibility In wet or wintry weather. But some go from the corners in And meet right in the middle, Like bows quick-drawn across the strings Of cello, bass or fiddle. In “Wheels on the Bus,” the sound they make Is “swish swish swish,” although Reality must disagree - But that’s the way things go. No matter, they are useful tools When driving in the rain. Without their help, a rainy road trip Sure would be insane!
