Reason A. Poteet Poet Limerick

Main Street's Out-of-Order

Since last June they’ve been working our main street
waiting in lines had us all off our beat.
     Now in the middle of March
     can we lose any more starch?
With all four lanes closed, for routes we compete. 

Perhaps next June, when the pipes all are done,
cables in place and concrete has hardened,
     all the bumps will be leveled;
     we can get back on schedule.
Can a year’s aggravation be pardoned?

We've all been there on such roads; it seems there are always repairs to be made somewhere. I appreciate your comment.

Paula Goldsmith March 3, 2026 at 11:32 AM I enjoyed reading your wonderful write. Our streets have been a mess for over 2 years. "Good  Luck" I also did this contest. Have a fun day writing away.......... Reason A. Poteet March 3, 2026 at 7:44 PM Thanks, Paula. So much for living in a small-town America. We are tied to I-65 (which runs from Chicago to Mobile) and our Main St. is the only road in town that crosses I-65. Sorry for the traffic hassles you've faced... I'll go now and read your entry.
