No Longer Driving Me Crazy
My map reading skills were not that
pitiful.
Who was this clown then behind the
wheel,
he who adjusted our speed to fit his
preferred velocity?
His secure belief that he would
always
obtain my approval for the
itinerary,
even without asking me.
I can only hope
that no unwitting passenger will
accept a ride from him now,
or at least, request to be let out
under the five mile mark,
Linda
