Drive Through Life
Mood:  cool
Topic: A short poem

Drive through life

It’s a great idea
To
Come fast
But
Drive
Slow.

For
Guys who
Go very fast
May
Reach very
Late.

One cuts on distance, not time.

And
In any case
The trick is
Not to
Ride roughshod
On rough roads

And skirt
The potholes
And speed breakers
That populate
The highways
And bye lanes
Of your city
And your life.

Not that it’s always possible
But why not
Give it an honest try?
