Change of Course

Sometimes we get sidetracked onto The Highway of Wrong Intentions, and when we feel the wind smacking us in the face, we are quickly jerked back to reality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

CHANGE OF COURSE!


Stupidity reigns supreme when I act without thinking!
When I stumble back into the good sense of reality,
I ask, "Just how did I get caught up in deceit's web--
Really, just how gullible can a person with a brain be?”

I was stuck on a highway traveling the wrong way south,
With my car heading northward too few times.
Going backwards I was, wheel of responsibility twisted round,
And caught up in a pocket of loose nickels and dimes.

Bags of discretion were packed and thrown into the back seat.
I was on a freeway with the cold wind stinging my face,
When I discovered an unintended passenger riding along.
I had to slam on the brakes and stop the wrong way race.

I've corrected my course to reality of life's road.
The steering wheel is headed in the common sense direction.
No veering off onto a dark, side road of stupidity again,
As I’ve paid too high a price to realize value of correction.

Oh yes! I’m now cruising along on the Superhighway of Life!

LOL... such a creative and fun piece but with so much truth... unlike the road life doesn't have a map so sometimes we thin we are heading down the right road till it leads to a dead end... we just have to remember that road so we don't head down it again. You have a way of entertaining and delivering a lesson, that is talent.

Wow, spectacular poem Sheila! I enjoyed reading it, so true this poem is. Sometimes you need a change of course like if your driving the wrong way, and so on. Keep up the good poem writing you have a great talent.
