Traffic lights that stop all Hold my soul and mind in thrall And pop the clutch, you will stall Or open the door and you will fall Grab the wheel and make your turn Either way will cause the burn Going straight is hard for some to discern So in reverse is how you will learn The mirrors cause reflections that show What's around so you will know Not to wreck and have a tow But do you know the way to go? Shifting gears is sometimes smooth, then It helps you when you race to win Whether a scoop or a rear fin Is your engine making that noisy din? Or is it you whining so loud...? You're inside protected from cloud Why are you wearing a shroud? It's your wedding day-you should be proud. Don't you see it written on the back With cans behind that show you crack At least you're not working on the track With skin so white that looks so black. Now don't worry if you break the glass It's a shield-but it won't help you pass Should've spent more time in class Then you wouldn't drive with so much sass And when you're so very tired of tires That blow when their life expires And that electrical system full of wires That short-circuits and starts fires It kind of sounds like life-right? Even the switches for the light That you shine when it is night And you need some help with your sight And when you crash and have to be In repairs and then pay a fee It kind of sounds like you and me Do you see it like I see? On the road of life you drive YOU are the vehicle and you try to survive So many others- it's like a bee-hive Blinking, turning, stopping, going, hoping to stay alive. So don't wander aimlessly all about If you get lost don't sit and pout Going the wrong way? Don't yell or shout... When you see it like that you've figured it all out. |
