Summer Road Trip

A poem about summer road trips.

Summer Road Trip

 

Always when it's hot and
my brow is dripping with sweat,
only then is it prime time

for a summer road trip.

 

My squealing tires hit the pavement,
every so often I stop to make a
pit stop and out of a huge big gulp 
of iced lemonade I take a sip.

 

Each night as I stop at Denny's or at
an all night diner when I'm
finished with my supper,
I have to leave the red helmet
haired, chesty waitress a big tip.

 

Pulling over to pay a toll
every few miles is such a rip!

 

Sometimes while you're on

your summer  road trip,
you find yourself arguing

with your shotgun partner

because they give

you too much lip.

 

After being cooped up for too long
and too many RedBulls, I get feisty
and feel like cracking my whip!

 

Then my boyfriend 

and I pull over to get
a motel room, where my

skinny jeans can unzip.

 

Staying home is comfy and fun,
but sometimes an exciting summer
road trip is just the spicy thing
you need to liven your

life up a bit!

I like how Michael said no cleaning up. I think we all know how frantic he gets. This poem is fun.
