On the Road, Raindrops Tapping

He's on the road in his semi again
  driving from two in the afternoon 'till ten
Raindrops rapping and tapping on his windshield
  firmly belted in his seat and sealed

Off, he and his musings inside
  as the wiper blades hum and they glide
A tuneless melody on his windshield --
  to their hypnotic trance he does yield
     
                    ********  
Wake up sleepy head from your slumber
  from the dense fog of 'drive-by-the-numbers'
Succumb not to sterile hypnosis
  or to dreamless, futile neurosis

Rise up and answer life's clarion call
  ~ Time's too precious to miss out on it all

Clever turn at the end to this driven ditty of yours. Thoughtfully rhymed and well penned. Congrats on your placement.

Thanks for noticing down at the bottom of the list there, Greg--from way up there nearer the top of the pack. LOL. Nice going! ~ Gershon

Oh, I couldn't agree more with your comment, Line. "A gem, Gershon." Now I just have to convince my wife that I'm a 'diamond in the rough.' Very rough. Ruff, ruff, ruff... :) gw
