To a Crawl

When traffic has slowed to a crawl
And you fear you'll be late to the ball
     Just try hard not to freak
     Also temper your piqué
All while hoping your car doesn't stall.

Though the radio might help distract
Plus some snacks that you hopefully packed
     Don't glance up at the clock
     You'll be in for a shock
And who knows how you might then react.

For if patience is one of the tools
We must use as we follow the rules
     It's important to know
     That no fuses will blow
Well, except those of road-raging fools.
