A Four Way Stop

Always great fun at an intersection With only a four way stop You start, he starts, it's him no it's me Nose to nose, where's a cop You glare, he glares, nothing's solved It boils down to a battle of wits Like kids arguing over a colourful toy “That's mine! No, it's mine!” and you sit Even the ear shattering sound of horns Has no effects on this yahoo! All hell breaks loose, 8 guys get out And a bloody fist fight ensues! Standing back I watch the proceedings Grown men acting like jerks Get back in my car, I drive around it all It's not worth being late for work Four way stops are becoming quite rare In this fast paced world we live in Four way stops are now being replaced Coz nobody's willing to give in

Well round abouts seem the answer Jack. You give way to the vehicle on the right except for a vehicle that has already entered the roundabout. That car has right of way. and if all 4 cars enter at exactly the same time then they can all proceed around and exit at their destination. Easy Peezy ? Love your poem Jack
