Semi Anger - Show Me the Anger Contest

Driving smoothly
Down the road
Peaceful and free
Nowhere to go
To my right I see
I semi coming closer
No signal if you please
And over he goes
Right in front of me
Just inches away
I steam up senselessly
I burn inside, no way
Did he just do that
Oh, I’m so ticked off

Love the witty title, Russell. I can imagine this scene so well

Oh, Russell, in 2008 a semi tried to change lanes on the Interstate 10 and hit three cars, including mine. My Honda was totaled, but I just had whiplish. One of the other two female drivers was taken off in an ambulance. And would you believe, this truck driver LEFT THE SCENE! There was an emblem on the back of the truck, I told police about it and they caught him. Excellent entry for the contest and I'm about to post one for yours as well. Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn

Yes, I KNOW this feeling for sure, Russell. A big pet peeve of mine. It will be interesting to see which anger poems Susan enjoys seeing. I missed out on this contest. Just to slow on the draw!
