Whilst road-tripping last week with fellow AFOLs Steve and Joe, I was inspired
to write another haiku. This one came about because I am, admittedly, a very
bad driver--due mainly to the fact that I speed, tailgate, and weave in and out
of traffic with little-to-no disregard for vehicle spacing or the sanity of my
passengers. I actually don’t mean to drive like a maniac, it just happens--and
as usual, I didn’t even notice until I heard Joe gasp in the back seat and saw
Steve cross himself. That’s when I said, “People just don’t understand; it’s
not that I got there only five seconds before the other guy--it’s that I GOT
THERE BEFORE THE OTHER GUY!”
This led to the following haiku coming to me a few nights later as I tried to
sleep. It’s titled Celerity.
It’s not that I’m there
Only five seconds faster
But that I beat him.

LOL - Having been through that experience (my car is still not quite over it:-)
), I can say it was one of the funniest road trips I have been on. Good vignette
and good haiku!
