Slow And Steady With A Foot Ready!

In a rush today? Guess you won't be going anywhere fast now that you are at my bay. That is how rushing works, right? You all do it with rush hour at many a site.

Heading for home.
Not out to roam.
Heading and heading.
Dreaming of bedding.

Tired and sore.
No need to explore.
Wanting to rest.
A nap's the best.

Heading and...stopped.
Any rushing flopped.
Stuck and stuck.
Muttering thinks like fluck.

Gas fumes galore.
Cars door to door.
Bumper to bumper.
That car wants to hump her.

Ever so close.
PDA out of the house.
The mechanical kind.
Screw loose on its mind.

Rev and go.
Seconds to blow.
Stopped once more.
Won't get an encore.

Change the lane.
No pain, no gain.
Try for another score.
Hear that engine roar.

Stop and go.
Still at so so.
Sure no quickie.
But the heat makes you sticky.

Get the green light.
This time it's all right.
Took it to far away spaces.
It's off to the races.

Red rears its head.
Back to dreaming of bed.
To linger hours in heat.
Rush hour's giving treat.

Hmmm, that went kinda off kilter. Maybe the car needs a new filter? Beats the heck out of me. You humans named it rush hour from sea to sea. Not much rushing around. Don't you love when traffic is found? Bumper to bumper and door to door. My, those vehicles sure want more and more. Of course insurance companies may give them sass. I'll stick to generating traffic and not be stuck in it for my little rhyming ass.

Fill your rummer, get drunk all summer.

  4. I finally learned rushing doesn't help and I just take it easy. I can't speed anyway during rush hour so why get frustrated?

    1. Yeah, it won't help you get there
      Although it is annoying when on the highway with only one slow poke car in front of you and no passing lane to spare

  9. It's better just to go slow and get there in one piece instead of blowing through a few red lights and getting in a crash.

    1. Yep, as crashing you may die
      Plus, be ten times as long if an accident were to fly

  10. Stuck in traffic is the pits, but causing an accident by running a red light...even worse.

  14. Rush, rush, rush, why are people always in a hurry?
    Slow down, enjoy your day, and don't worry, worry, worry.

  15. I usually don't get stuck in traffic. It's the damn road construction that gets me riled up. They start a project, then wait 5 months to come back and finish it. Like, why the heck couldn't you get it all done in one shot instead of closing lanes down for months at a time while you're off picking your nose or whatever?
