Caught in traffic once again, just stuck there on the road,
I saw a sign ahead of me with callous words that glowed.
Instead of trying to cheer up or help me with the pain,
It laughed at me without attempt from rudeness to refrain.
And so I'm late to work again with no way to explain.

Just for the contest, and for fun.

I want to know what the sign said. I'll have to take a look at the contest. It ought to stand alone (pic inspired pieces) but this doesn't seem to really. The flow is great though.

I was going to put the sign's words into the poem, but the contest limited the poems to five lines, so I ran out of room.

Wonderful I loved this! It flows well and has a great sense of humour, yet acceptance of the situation.
Thanks so much for sharing.
