Heading North

Heading north, dodging rain

Back out on the road, again

Reality rears its ugly head

Driving in America, semi-dread

Cruise control, most don't use

Signals, mirrors seem to confuse

Texting, talking and stuffing food

Clueless and selfish with attitude

Me, I want to pick a speed

Left lane to pass when I need

Cuz I want to stay out of your way

So you have a fine ole day

Main focus, attention when we drive

Then we all can stay alive

Had a lovely time on my southern stay

Looking forward to next trip this way

Alas, it's time to put on socks

I know they're not cool with crocs

But my toes don't like the cold

And, with little hair you can't be bold

So I'll have a hat close by today

And sweater and jacket not far away

Time to load up the car 

I know a dog will not be far

That rascal knows what's going down

Abandoned once, owners just left town

How could they leave this boy behind

Their loss, for me, what a find

Now I know he's a road tripping dog

But, time to wind down this blog

Have a fine day, we'll chat soon

Or step outside, check out the moon

Waning crescent rising late

But, more blogging have to wait

Get out, Today on Earth
