traffic radio and me

I wake to traffic radio

I’m a morning devotee

But this morning traffic radio

Was reporting about me


I heard the awful news

While I was still in bed

The words of the announcer

Are still spinning in my head


It seems there was a crash

And it was on my arm

So that is why my wrist is

So unusually warm


And then a pile up happened

On the roadway of my leg

Avoid the gawker slowdown

Don’t look at it, I beg!


The traffic is free flowing

On my neck and on my chest

I like when traffic radio

Tells me I’m at my best


Rush hour is almost over

Traffic guy is out the door

I have to hope tomorrow

I won’t still be the detour
