A Good Day On The Road

Goldfinch60



I always moan about them,

The idiots on the road,

But today was different,

Today the good drivers were out.

Drove at correct speeds,

Left sufficient gaps between each other,

Were polite to others,

Allowed others out with courtesy.

To cap it all

I saw the weirdest thing,

I saw the lone BMW,

The one that had an indicator fitted,

Fitted at the factory.

I almost stopped in shock,

I don’t think I had seen that before,

A BMW indicating which way it was going!

I looked in my mirror

And there coming towards me

Was a Ferrari,

It could have flashed by me,

But no it stayed behind,

A reasonable distance behind.

So today was a good day,

A good day to be on the road.

    Was today yesterday? Not been out yet so hoping it's a good here - but I doubt it. 🤔

    • Goldfinch60

      It is a very rare occasion nowadays Michael.

    • Poetic Dan

      It's nice when it happens, so very true and no one deserves a happy drive more than you...

      Glad I didn't come along on my bike to spoil it! Lol

      • Goldfinch60

        Thank you Dan, much appreciated.

        If you came along on your bike that would be 20 points for me to gain. LOL

          considering life trickles by at such a slow pace down here generally that is .. South Somerset drivers have got to be some of the most impatient, selfish and foot on the gas felons around ............ and sorry, I dont believe the bit about a BMW driver Andy ... I used to drive one .. and even the tractors sped past me ... 🙂

          • Goldfinch60

            So true Neville a friend of mine said that when she lived in that area the drivers were atrocious.

            As for the BMW driver I wonder how much extra it cost to have indicators fitted on his car. LOL

            Was driving on the road, ever so slow
            Hurry up, to work I have to drive
            Honk, honk, the cars behind did blow

            Everyone was in a hurry don't you know
            All that noise , how could one survive
            Was driving on the road, ever so slow

            Funny, then a driver, yelled, "Need a Tow?"
            I yelled back "No , please get a life
            Honk, honk, the cars behind did blow

            Then a driver suddenly did show
            Asked me to pull over, holding a knife
            Was driving on the road, ever so slow

            I stepped on the gas, I was on the go
            Oh yes, I was speeding for my life
            Honk, honk, the cars behind did blow

            Now, I never drive fast, nor slow
            Just at a pace that feels ever nice
            Was driving on the road, ever so slow
            Honk, honk, the cars behind did blow

              I waved from my Bentley but you never saw me - - you were busy noting those better drivers when I flashed past on that road - - ha -- loved your gentle moan and the beautiful music dear Andy - - felt like a go at a fun-answer today - -

              • Goldfinch60

                That was you in the Bentley was it flashing passed me was it Fay.

                Thank you for your kind words.

                  Waiting for that day! What a lovely day that was for you. Much less stress if this happens more often.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Very true Rozina - another if only.......
