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!

A road trip is something I am really thirsty for! So I was really drawn to this poem. Wonderful poem. It flowed really nicely!

You said it! I used to take roadtrips, alone, with a dependent husband and kids everywhere, I would drive to where the road lead me. I wasn't looking for anything, but the feeling of freedom. Women are the backbone of society, families, and the U.S.A; sometimes, we need a break. I don't know whether there is one, already, or not; I vote for August 2nd, my birthday, to be national women's day. Just steer away from that Thelma and Louise stuff. Loved the write!
