The Finger

We're on the highway, middle lane; Some motorcycles pass. The car in front slows down; my husband Presses on the gas And eases left, right in the midst Of Harleys fore and aft, Not knowing that, in biker world, By accident, we'd gaffed. We soon found out, though, for a hand Shot up with finger thrust Straight in the air - the middle one, You've figured out, I trust. We got the message, loud and clear, And ceded them their lane For choppers seem to rule the road; That finger made it plain.

Ha, ha. Methinks you can be glad that you only got the finger. Coulda been a lot worse. Happy Rosh Ha-Shana to you, Ilene. Best wishes, Gershon

Most auto drivers have no idea how their 4-wheel vehicle impacts 2-wheel vehicles, resulting in far too many accidents and deaths not attributed to the motorist at fault. I suggest everyone ride a motorcycle on a very windy day so they experience exactly what it is like when other vehicles enter their space! Aloha! Rico
