Longer
No longer can you plan a trip
When driving is the means,
For calculating ETA’s
Is like a hill of beans.
Construction doesn’t help things,
Though it keeps the traffic slowed,
But the problem is how many
Cars and trucks clog up the road.
To cross a bridge this morning,
Where the backup was a mess,
Added fifty minutes to our ride,
As well as lots of stress.
At times we cannot help it –
Cars can take us door to door,
But it certainly takes longer
Than it ever did before.
