Hah! Love it! How about the ones that count out small denomination coins at toll booths? I LOVE those! LOL. Great write, John. I drive a lot so I can so relate! This should do well in the contest.

I once had a Cookie Monster hand puppet that I would make dance on the dashboard......then I'd hide it when the parents turned to see why there kids were going crazy in the back seat..

This poem had me laughing John, as it is so true what people will do while driving in traffic. Very amusing and delightful! : )
