Idle thoughts in bumper to bumper traffic

CATEGORY

life

Traffic stopped, rush hour waiting for movement,
A reminder to write congress for some pavement improvement,
Sometimes I lose it, like important receipts and spare change,
Yes, the left lane is open, mash the gas, and I'm off like a rocket,
My cell phone's powered off and charging in the cigarette socket,
Solving major mysteries, so I'm something like Crockett,
In an episode of Miami Vice, that I saw back in the 80's,
Used to wear no socks and my suit jacket just to impress the ladies,
Today, I have a Dodge Charger, you can keep your Mercedes,
I'll drive American steel until I'm pushing up daisies,
I digress, no need to stress my consumer preferences,
Nor reminisce on 1980's pop culture references,
Just some idle thoughts, off the dome, in the morning rush hour,
Off to work to make some more dough like water and flour.
