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!
