Potholes

Every winter, all the roads
Are pocked and filled with holes.
So what’s the money used for
That we pay for all the tolls?

You’d think when they’d repair them,
They’d use something that would last
Instead of bargain pothole-fill,
Which breaks apart real fast.

When driving in the city
In the winter, my advice:
Beware of ruptures in the road,
More dangerous than ice!

The breaches on the highways and freeways is why I don't ride motorcycle anymore. Could you imagine your front tire catching one of those at 70 mph. :/ Peace. :)

Ilene I read yesterday that they were charging less on the tolls on the Verrazano on the Staten Island side. What the heck, what about Brooklyn. Hope they fix that along with the potholes with golden filler, not black sand. love, Kathy
