Road Rage

I was driving to work yesterday and witnessed what became a comical and entertaining show.  Traffic was pretty heavy for this time in the afternoon and one particular driver was showing his impatience by tailgating, swerving in and out of various lanes, and being aggressive to try to intimidate the other drivers. He entertained me for eleven miles where I happily remained in one or two lanes going a modest speed while watching him move all over the place trying to "get ahead".  I had to write about it:

Get a little closer
And you may invoke fear
In the driver of the Honda
For which you're hugging the rear.

But it could backfire
An invoke road rage
And the Honda will slow
Boxing you in a cage.

The speed regulator, left
And the texter on your right,
The Honda up ahead
Challenging you to a fight.

You honk and mouth "get moving"
To any of the three,
Who maybe care enough
And will heed your plea.

A glance in your rearview
And a strategy you plan
To slam on the brake
And cross over if you can.

The far right lane is clear
And you may reach the speed of light,
To make it to your appointment,
Will still be cutting it tight.

If only these other drivers
Could really get to know
How important you are to your job
They'd move over and let you go.

You're running so late
For a very good reason;
Watching the traffice report
For conditions of the season!

So as the plan goes
And gets put into action,
A truck from out of nowhere
Beats you by a fraction.

You pound on the wheel
And mutter a curse;
But it's that Honda ahead
That makes you feel worse.

And suddenly the Honda
Crosses over two lanes
And exits the freeway
The winner of the game!

More Than Serving a Coke!

Oh what a week,
No time to be meek,
For a customer did need
The A.E.D.!
A diversion was made,
And a live was saved!

Oh, the same week,
"Do we have a leak?"
The fuel smell was strong-
We knew something was wrong.
Twas a bag in a bin, smelling awry
Precautions were made to still safely fly!

He Enables

I love my Lord
With all that I am.
His will is mine;
Through Him, I can.

Shine

I shine my light,
My energy from God,
With words and deeds
To further His cause.
