(Are We Nearly There Yet?)
© 2018 Steve Cook
The journey to tomorrow
Is a long and arduous drive
On a road paved with occasional sorrows
And now and then an RTA
I was lucky to survive.
But I figure the effort is worth it
Despite the potholes and the swerves,
The frequent fraying of my temper
When "Are we nearly there yet?"
From the back seat gets
On my ruddy nerves.
But to be going somewhere
Is yet better than going nowhere at all
And a life moving slowly in traffic
Is still preferable to being stalled.
Perhaps the road ahead is smoother
Or wider or straighter
Than the road I left behind;
Besides, driving to a destination
Is smarter by far than waiting
For the destination to arrive.
