Back Seat Driver
You are a lovely woman, Kate—
enough to cause my breath to bate,
enough to stun and addlepate—
but if we stop to ruminate
each time we reach another gate,
it is my fear that we’ll be late.
Why not let me cogitate
when forward progress to abate?
If necessary, I vow to wait
as we wage a long debate
on whether to go left or straight
as we approach the interstate,
but each time you excoriate,
criticise or agitate
for route changes, I rue my fate
the day I set up this blind date!!!
From: Your very competent driver, Nate
The prompt today was ruminate.

Just like the radio, it’s drivers choice.

Garry thinks I should drive again. I said “NO problem. If you are NOT in the car.” He didn’t understand, but I bet you do 🙂

It’s just not right that a relationship can go South so quickly over driving and riding.

A first for me, to read a poem that rhymes all they way through.
