Trooper In Wait

Trooper In Wait

 

Positioned there he was

A very patient one indeed

At his favorite hiding place

Where motorists liked to speed

 

Many saw him too late

And cursed at him real good

As they hit their brakes

And pulled over as they should

 

Many didn’t like him much

When he clocked them with his gun

Whether cars or diesel trucks

A ticket was costly to everyone

 

The drivers that often speeded

Eventually paid the price

With a ticket that they needed

To save their very life

    Ah they can be sneaky - a long time now since I got a ticket - thanks to speed restriction and cruise control - and it takes longer to make a long journey and of course adds to traffic congestion especially on the motorways - BUT saves lives.

      Thanks, Michael. As I've gotten a little older, I drive slower too. I don't get the same adrenaline rush that i once did, and driving the speed limit is much easier. Tickets are way too expensive, and a ticket or two can make insurance really expensive.
