Road Rage

Do I threaten your aggression
By keeping calm and cool?
The more you flail your arms about
The more you play the fool!
I realize that self restraint
Is not your cup of tea
But it’s not fair that you don’t care - 
Don’t take that out on me!
You seem to be a person
Who has to have their say
And selfishness becomes the norm
When things don’t go your way
Well here’s a bit of news for you
You’re not the only one
It’s give and take -
(For heaven's sake
Don’t ever get a gun!)

I can relate Gayle; my stress level goes up when I drive on the interstates around here because of crazy aggressive drivers…a lot of them think the interstate is the autobaun (like in Germany where theres no speed limit)~Great venting poem Gayle!~Che :)

Was that you in front of me on the highway????? :) This was fun Gayle and I'll admit it, like looking into a mirror at times. Yep, I feel foolish.
