Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

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.

Jan Allison August 31, 2023 at 3:21 PM I'm thankful our roads are relatively quiet Ilene, 5 cars in front is a traffic jam lol. guess we are lucky to live on a little island but it does have its restrictions as well as benefits. we have no motorways and the only dual carriage way is a small strip in front of the airport lol:-) hugs Jan xx
