The sign said, “left two lanes,
“Proceed via break-down lane(s)…”
Rumble strip noise
There was little choice,
Late night construction pains?
–
Forward and onward we inched,
Past a sign our purpose clinched…
Sobriety checks–
What could be next–
Would DIET MOXIE cause me to be pinched?
–
The troopers were considerate and kind,
One saw my “home from work” state of mind…
Lunch bag at my side
Not likely “tied”,
I was glad to stop and shop to unwind!
