Bear On the Road

stuck on the highway and need to pee either way its not a pleasant time for me I’ve taken my diuretic and its almost three. the lanes are filled from left to right I’m in the middle and my exit is tight I’ve taken a deep breath with all my might Can’t cross my knees while sitting in the seat the A/C don’ work and I do mind this heat the urge is more now my bladder is weak. I see an exit with a station up ahead Bless those who put it there instead Maybe its closed, oh how I dread need to get over, my turn is coming near no one will let me move over from here another sign showing right lane exit only (lonely) can’t make the change and I missed my turn indeed toll booths ahead which will delay my need if only someone would be polite and do a good deed just about to lose my control if I have to stop line is long, drove on thru, now here comes the cop siren wailing and lights flashing on top had to pull over, am sure they’ll be a fine by mistake I drove thru the express line will just tell l him I didn’t see the sign rolled down my window waiting for the badge to appear Oh officer I have to pee and the pain is so severe if you will please let me so and tell me it’s all clear you see I saw a sign ‘bear right’ for a rest stop but I couldn’t get over, some car was on top if you would be lenient and let me make a swap. I‘ll give you my autograph which is a sure treasure then you drive off and go about your pleasure no ticket please, I’ll be gone on all good measures. the cop replied ‘now why would I want your autograph’? I said I am well known to kept you safe on Americas behalf have been around for many years and that’s no laugh. I’d not want you to be in danger under some negligent acts its my job to protect you and alert you to the bear facts I will drive off now but you can follow my tracks. I will be at the next filling station where is says ‘bear right’ lets just turn our backs and become out of sight and to you my jingle which I’ll now recite. ‘only you can prevent forest fires’ said Smokey the bear
