Jenna Logan Poet Limerick

A Hotdogging Road Hog

I am a careful driver who stays in my lane
Except when I think doing so would be insane
Like when a crazy fool
Is stubborn as a mule
And has an ego that is totally inane

I humbly and wisely take the high road...except
When another driver is doubtlessly inept
I'm not the one who crashed
and don't need to be bashed
Do not assume I am wrong, when I am adept

A driver who thinks he's better is a road hog
Some folks might even consider him a hotdog
Mouthing off like he's right
Like a poet on a site
Bragging like a fat bullfrog, squatting on a log

Sean Kelly October 5, 2021 at 6:26 AM Crazy witty stuff , Jenna - Well done ! I miscued earlier with a comment on you 'being quiet' ! - I had been reading another poet who had not posted for some time and got my timing wires X'd. Sorry and best of luck in the contest. Seán .. Jenna Logan October 5, 2021 at 6:30 AM Hi Sean, you weren't entirely wrong. I was not active for 3 weeks because I'd evacuated due to Hurricane Ida. Thanks, but this wasn't written for a contest.

Lindsay Laurie April 17, 2021 at 11:07 PM Hello Jenna ... for most a vehicle is a convenience, but then there are those who drive bullets on wheels and they don't care who suffers in their wake - thanks Jenna - Lindsay Jenna Logan October 5, 2021 at 6:31 AM True, Lindsay. A vehicle is a dangerous weapon. Thanks for the visit and comments.

Robert Pettit April 16, 2021 at 10:46 AM We have too many of those types in New Jersey. That's why we pay the highest auto insurance premiums in the nation. Good write! Jenna Logan April 16, 2021 at 10:59 AM Thanks, Robert. Whether driving a car or using a pen like a stick shift, some people think they are better at things than others.

Caren Krutsinger April 16, 2021 at 10:32 AM Man I have missed something BIG and boy, am I glad! This made me smile all the way through. Jenna Logan April 16, 2021 at 10:58 AM lol Caren. The impetus for this one was not such a big deal, but some people think THEY are a big deal. I'm so happy that you appreciated my intention. Thanks!

Connie Marcum Wong April 15, 2021 at 10:28 AM This is a very clever limerick with a double meaning that brought smiles to my face Jenna. Well done! Blessings xxoo Jenna Logan April 15, 2021 at 10:39 AM I'm so glad you caught my intent, Connie. Road Hogs, Blog Hogs...not much difference. Thank you, and I'm delighted to learn that you'll be more active on the site. Your poetry is wonderful.

Tom Cunningham April 15, 2021 at 12:59 AM Nothing turns the air bluer than a roadhog Jenna and they look at you like its you who is in the wrong grrrr. Well written limericks Tom Jenna Logan April 15, 2021 at 10:38 AM That is absolutely right, Tom. When such road hogs give me a one finger salute, I simply smile and wave at them, which nulls their intent. ha ha Thanks, Tom.

Victor Buhagiar April 14, 2021 at 1:42 PM Driving today is full of danger. Take care. Jenna Logan April 14, 2021 at 4:46 PM Right. We have to drive defensively.

Mark Koplin April 14, 2021 at 10:44 AM Lol, that right there is some good hog blogging material! Jenna Logan April 14, 2021 at 11:19 AM Oh no, but thank you for thinking so. I would NEVER post one of my poems as a blog. I'm not pretentious.
