The Distracted Driver
The Distracted Driver
By Elton Camp
Behind the wheel, Sue won’t use her cell phone
But she eats while driving anytime she is gone
She grasps a king-sized burger in her right hand
With the left, take a slurp of her drink so grand
Without a third hand to use to drive the car
So then down the road she didn’t go very far
For just when she turned to take another bite
She careened off an embankment on the right
The car plunged so fast it went out of control
It flipped en-to-end and then began to roll
And just as it slammed headlong into a tree
The folly of eating while driving Sue did see
And on that tragic day, the gods she meets
Now ambrosia is the only food that she eats
