Messy

The morning may be messy
For the people who commute,
With highways slick with ice
Before the snowplows clear the route.

For those who will be driving
Some anxiety’s at hand,
‘Cause Nature may disrupt
The travel that you might have planned.

Alternatives start floating – 
Do you heed or take a chance?
The young may risk it but the wise
Bow down to circumstance.

Icy highways bring back so many nightmares, as I used to be a truck driver. No thanks:) Love your rhyme Mrs Ilene.

Really nice Ilene and fun to read. I don't have that problem where I live but if I did I would probably just call in sick. :)
