Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Right Turn Only

The sign says “Right turn only”
But routinely, it’s ignored.
For the law-abiding drivers,
Patience isn’t a reward.

As the right-lane disobeyers
Surge ahead to make the light,
Those who do what they’re supposed to
Sigh and lose another fight.

Traffic police are not effective
For there’s no way any cop
Can convince a wayward driver
That his trespass ought to stop.

You can guess from my frustration
That I’m following the rules
Which appear to be created
For the passive or the fools.
