Hey, Aggressive Driver

  Swerving in and out of lanes without 
          A care in the world. Great, now you cut 
             Into mine! Did you bother signaling?
          Of course, you didn't. The impatience!
           The rudeness! Flipping birds? Really?

          Feuding with time could prove costly,
         So ease off the gas pedal; stop baiting 
          State troopers. Reduce speed; you're 
        Heading home from work, or an errand, 
         I suppose, because the sun is setting.

       Are you recreating "Fast Five" scenes, or
     Living dangerously at motorists' expense?
        Well, the highway is no NASCAR track!
         I'm rather surprised you don't rack up 
                 Speeding tickets, or do ya?

       How about this; head to your destination 
   Half an hour early. Yeah, try that for a change!
    Stay in your lane, slow down; you're begging
        For an accident, the fatal kind. And quit
    The road-raging! Should you even be driving?

So frustrating when this happens. I totally understand your need to write and vent. Sooner or later these kinds of drivers get into serious trouble.

The pace builds as the irritation grows. The reader can actually hear the tone of your voice change as the situation becomes more dangerous. A brilliant write. Enjoyed.
