Dramatic Drive

‘Twas evening, after sunset,

And it was dark outside,

Without natural light save from the stars.

I was going for a ride.

 

I was riding in a car

That had four round, black wheels

And electronic fuel injection,

Like the cars of Navy Seals.

 

I am not a navy seal,

But the anecdote worked.

And as I drove, I saw a stop light,

And I realized I was furked.

 

I slammed on my brakes to stop,

But I slammed much too late.

I burned up my round black tires, yes,

Before I crashed into fate.

 

Fortunately, in this case

Fate was on its lunch break.

Basically I just drove at night, but

This was a more int’resting take.
