Poem

I’m restless and hurried and hate to waste time
except at a movie or dealing with rhyme!
And nothing I’m thinking of wastes my time more
than driving in traffic; it’s one big fat bore.

So I have developed some skills of my own.
Here’s one thing I do that not all would condone
when I’m stuck at a left turn, not wanting to wait
behind a long line of cars making me late:

If on that corner, I spy a gas station,
I pull in there (though it’s not my destination).
By making my turn from that spot’s lot instead,
I rarely lose time, and in fact, I’m ahead!

And if on the freeway I happen to see
the traffic I’m in is a big mess to me,
and it keeps getting slower, I get myself OUT.
I take the next exit, just changing my route!

I always am looking ahead on the street
to figure out conflicts that I’m going to meet.
A train up ahead? Then I U-turn and find
a new way! That waiting just taxes my mind!

Those U-turns are awesome! I use them a lot
to get myself out of a really tight spot!
I’m not always sure about U-turning laws,
And so I use caution with those, just because!

I doubt I break too many laws with all this.
If I do, please don’t tell me. Not knowing is bliss.
I’m restless and hurried; a long-time survivor -
a cuttingcornerstrafficscornerfemaleconniverdriver.
