I’m going to be spending a lot of time on the road in the next couple of weeks. In honor of that, here are some driving Haikus.
20. Blink Blink Blink Blink Blink
Blink Blink Blink Blink Blink Blink Blink.
Someday, you’ll turn left.
19. Lumbering monster.
Imports scatter before me.
Fear my Escalade!
18. I’m in a hurry.
You are driving too slowly.
I must gesture now.
17. It’s always the same:
“Next exit 84 miles”
When I have to pee.
16. Emits pollution
And spews poison gases. Car?
No, it’s Joy Beher.
15. Rearview mirror shows
Highway patrol behind me.
How many did I have?
14. Wake up in ER.
I was driving and reading,
Then I heard a crash.
13. Oooh, there’s a Starbucks!
Let’s pull over and buy some
Five-dollar coffee.
12. H2 SUV.
Traffic jam, gas tank on E.
U R SOL.
11. Run, pedestrian!
I can’t stop! Jump that curb!… Damn.
Bumpers are *not* cheap.
10. An exact-change lane,
And you’ve only brought Visa?
Please, never leave home.
9. Wheels are like mountains
In your giant monster truck.
Your schlong? Still compact.
8. Pony-tailed boomer
Doing thirty while singing
“Life in the Fast Lane.”
7. Get off that cell phone!
Safety dictates only *one*
Driver’s side air bag.
6. Use the crosswalk, fool!
I might not react in time!
Well, those are the brakes.
5. Self-important prick!
Signal turns or you may find
Baby on *dash* board.
4. Car slides over bridge!
Glad my underwear is clean.
Oops! I spoke too soon.
3. Cut *me* off, you scum?
Pass you on the right! I win!!
Morning, officer.
2. Something just happened
Between me and the leather.
Please crack a window.
and Topfive.com’s Number 1 Driving Haiku…
1. My toll-booth hottie
Can’t hear my smooth pickup lines
Over the car horns.
