Lightning McQueen

Cloudy sky Freezing temps Winter tires With a grip Enter the curve Hit the ice Start to slide to the right Foot off the brake Jerk the wheel Not to the left But hard to the right You have only a second No second chance To stay on the road And not crash Sometimes the opposite Saves our life Even when it Doesn’t feel right
