Side Seat Drivers

WriteBeLight

My side seat drivers,

Along for the ride.

Never diss my driving,

Never bruise my pride.

 

One sits in the back,

The other in front.

He’s a little older,

So he rides shotgun.

 

No matter the weather,

Keep their windows open.

Breeze blows in,

I’m either toasty or frozen.

 

No quarrels about it,

Never start a dog fight.

When I drive with them,

I’m sure to dress right.

 

They are great buddies.

Always ride together.

One rests his head,

Side rear view mirror.

 

This gesture he does,

Doesn’t block the view.

Great spirit of teamwork,

Between these two.

 

Heads pop in, then,

Again, pop out.

Eyeing the creatures,

Their smells about.

 

Then oh, so suddenly,

Those steadfast stares.

Two noses stretching,

Outward to fresh air.

 

These are not human kids,

But, hairy with four legs.

Always welcome for the ride,

They never have to beg.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this after driving behind a SUV, with two dogs riding with heads poked out of the passenger side. The smaller dog in the front would lean down on the passenger-side, rear-view mirror and occasionally look at his buddy in the seat behind to be sure he did not block his view.

                Love it WBL
                Very very good
                I'm like you
                We see something
                Then put it done
                In words....

                • WriteBeLight

                  So true P.H. Rose! I get the biggest kick out of seeing people with their pets or other opportunities to put down on paper something great or otherwise. Thanks so much for your comment!
