Best Traffic Poems

I'm Rudolph stuck in traffic, and on this of all the nights,
and up to now my nose has matched each set of traffic lights,
the fat guy in the back keeps bridling at our progress slow,
why I get saddled with him each year, I harnessly don't...

bent over the wheel
                     the plumber rolls down his window

Before yellow changes to red,
there’s only one thing in my head.
It’s to get through that light
for my time is so tight.
On the pedal my foot becomes lead!

But I did not judge too well today,
for that light was a tad far away.
Oh, why didn’t I stop?
If...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when...
   Oh no, said Rudolph!  Stuck again!
      The sky is dense and techno-waved,
            our path seems wild and misbehaved!

Poor Rudolph stopped...

Snowflakes are falling, it's late on Christmas Eve
Poor Rudolph’s sleigh is stuck fast in the snow
It’s gridlock on the roads and Rudolph can’t leave
The traffic lights are green, but no vehicles can go

Tears run down his nose and it glows bright red
His sleigh has gifts,...

Rudolf is stuck in traffic
This is simply tragic
What will he do with the toys
Eagerly awaited by girls and boys

It's that flock of geese causing the commotion
Flying in the v formation
Blocking the skies so no one can pass
Tried pushing his way through.. but alas

They pecked at...

Traffic Jam Slam


Who dresses them up and puts them in cars
gives them their keys as they leave the bars
these drivers who sit at the red light and grin
preachers out practicing Sunday’s big sin.
Somehow they think we can’t see inside
as they dig in their noses and...

This crazy rush hour traffic, traffic
like swimming the Caribbean Sea,
in these streets you don't wanna be.
Headlights brighter than spaceships,
spaceships, these drivers make you
wanna flip, rush hour you'd wanna skip

Many hurrying and rushing, rushing
sending many to hospitals with blood
gushing...Driving down these streets,
never know what...

Oh noble cone, knight fluorescent.
Rooted, proud and irridescent
Soldier, friend, stalwart defender,
Stood firm betwixt chaos and fender. 
Your pedestal, foursquare foundation. Beacon bold stood at your station.

The wizard's hat sent to protect. Calm, aloof and circumspect.
A cone, a clone, in columns prudent. The holy grail of...

Sitting on the soft cushion seat
Start of turtle movement
The advert on the bus
Is the only catchy appeal
The drumming of the engine
The grunting of the taxi
Dusk getting crisp
Dull glow of the sun
The glance at the sky
With a wish to fly

The buttocks begin to get sore
I see...

I'm waiting for it, the news, and I bow my head
Murder, rape, corruption, affliction
Honesty, integrity is only fiction
By greed and deceit, the people led
The fires of hell are being fed
Government and ethics a contradiction
I'm waiting for it to change
She sure can shake that thing, what...

Oh traffic light, oh traffic light
Why do you keep me waiting so.

Oh traffic light, oh traffic light
With your red light glaring and your ominous glow.

Oh traffic light, oh traffic light.
Do please hurry, I'm going to miss my show

Oh traffic light, oh traffic light
Time passes so...

Fingers tapping show impatience
Urge the red to turn to green
Precious seconds go by slowly
Till the amber glow is seen.

This is it … the feet are itching
The gear lever is clutched tight
It’s the calm before the tempest
Then it’s there – a change of light!

But what’s wrong?...

It is night
2 am
I am driving to the store for cigarettes
A short trip

Or it would be
Except the light turns red
The minute I reach it
I slow my car to a crawl

Hoping that I can inch my way forward
That if I just take my time
It will turn...
