Signals?

Goldfinch60



They drive their cars any which way,

Without a thought of others.

They go this way and that way

Without any indication to others.

What they don’t realise

Is that all cars have a secret device,

It is a stick on their steering column.

If they push it up or down

It sets lights flashing on the outside,

The outside of their car.

It is called an indicator

As it indicates which way,

Which way you are thinking of  going.

    Literal! It could easily metaphorically expand to comment on selfish uncaring or slipshod characters in our lives

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Bobby. Yes we could all comment on those characters.

        so true, my favourite pastime
        used to be guessing, why
        the car in front was slowing down
        (to make a turn? without indicating
        answer a call?
        enjoy the roadside aesthetics?
        and on...
        a fun game, saved me from losing
        my mind!)
        lol
        (oh and a great musical accompaniment choice
        that playful, almost 'tongue n cheek'
        tiptoeing fingers, tension music
        resonates with your words light-hearted take)

          Thank you Mek.

          That music is amazing the way they played it.

            I'll date myself now. I was quite young, but I remember a time when my dad would stick his arm out the window; left was arm straight out and right was arm bent at the elbow. I wonder how many people may have lost an appendage that way. Some folks just don't know how far we've come. Such a delightful read dear friend.

              Thank you Bella, when I passed my driving test we had to use all those arm signals and they are still legal in the UK if ever your indicator system does not function.
