Lol! Yes, it works out that way, doesn't it? We see that happening while driving on the freeway and some crazy driver weaves between the lanes only to be just ahead of us. Why jeopardize everyone's safety for a few car lengths? Thanks for the humorous take on the situation!

Hi Helen,
I experienced one of those crazy drivers a couple of days ago and this poem was the result. I just kept shaking my head and laughing every time I pulled up directly behind or next to him at the stoplights. So silly.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Haha, so true of those who think they are better drivers with the fastest car. They scream by you while you observe the speed limit. Then there they are stopped at the same light. I enjoyed your fun poem. Your lines read at a quick pace like the race the other driver seems to be in. Your rhymes are good as in the art.
Thanks for haring.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
I like this poem and the last line of each stanza is brilliant. It is amazing how much in a hurry some drivers seem to be. They should be more concerned about arriving, alive!

Whimsy and wry humor convey the irony of the rush-rush-rusher getting nowhere. This has a sing-song feel--I can imagine it being recorded as a PSA against speeding.

Thank you for the encouraging comments. I especially like the PSA remark.

Comment from Lyn Peters
Thank you for so accurately expressing the sentiments of those who share the road with the speed racers who fail to realize that posted speed limits are not a suggestions, but lawful orders. It is likely that, the next time I watch someone speed past me, on the road, only to be found sitting at a read light seething, I will think of In A Hurry.

This poem, In a Hurry, takes th3 reader through four lights with the hurry-up-and-wait king of the road leading the way from light to light. God bless them.

Comment from Mia Twysted
I love to watch the people who speed from one light to the next just to be causght sitting there waiting for it to turn green. They are not getting anywhere faster then the car next to them at the same stoplight.

This actually happened to me a few days ago. I don't know what the hurry was, but it was funny to see him waiting at each light. He got there first, but he still had to wait.

Heh heh, clever Debi, you've noticed what I've noticed, but the weaving in and out of traffic, trying to assuage impatience, and never succeeding, there's a message there somewhere. Beautifully written Debi, foolishness takes many forms, and this is foolish to the max. Well done, blessings Roy

Hi Roy,
Thank you for your fun insights and comments on the topic. Some people just cause themselves a lot of unneeded stress, don't they?

Comment from Anne Johnston
I love it, such true words about what happens in traffic. So many times I have watched a car cut in and out, changing lanes, trying to get ahead, and then coming up beside them at the next light. People are always in a hurry to go nowhere.

Yes, people in traffic can be so fascinating to watch. How much stress do they create themselves?
