She was a horrible driver<\/p>\n
Taking her cues only from the other cars<\/p>\n
A clear street<\/p>\n
She drove 80 and if there was a car<\/p>\n
She would slow to about four below<\/p>\n
The speed limit<\/p>\n
If there was a lot of traffic she would pull to the side of the road<\/p>\n
And just wait patiently for the other cars to flow<\/p>\n
Past her going to their places<\/p>\n
She would wait and call them<\/p>\n
Distract them from their driving<\/p>\n
Nobody ever told her she needed to get home<\/p>\n
No it wasn’t the reason for her driving<\/p>\n
She hadn’t been really given a reason for her driving<\/p>\n
Or she had, and just hadn’t known<\/p>\n
Making way for other drivers is the worst way to get from point A<\/p>\n
To point B<\/p>\n
Her driving and her direction are her own responsibility<\/p>\n
And making up for lost time by pounding the wheel and laying on the gas<\/p>\n
Was horrible for her interior and transmission<\/p>\n
Driving with precision begins in choosing the destination<\/p>\n
Pulling over is necessary for detailing and engine checking<\/p>\n
You don’t need to call your friends when you are free to leave the car<\/p>\n
Free to leave the car<\/p>\n
Free to leave the car<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
