An Example of Road Rage?A Poem by Elton CampThe driver yelled a single word as he brushed by me.An Example of Road Rage? By Elton Camp I was out on a country road for a drive About a coming car I said, “Man, alive!” Driver was going around a sharp curve Badly out of control, he began to swerve As we just barely escaped a collision I heard a shout that I thought derision “Hog!” is the word the driver did yell I thought, “You’re the hog. Go to hell.” I rounded the curve & got another view Saw that what he said was literally true For the single word he had time to say Was actually meant in a helpful way For standing in the road was a huge sow I veered & missed her but don’t know how
