The Right Lane

When driving, if your speed is slow,

It’s always recommended

That to the right’s where you should go,

As road rules have intended.

 

The left lane is for passing or

If maybe you are speeding

And middle lanes may help ensure

That traffic flow’s succeeding.

 

Among most drivers, there exists

A tacit understanding

That anyone who thus resists

Will face some reprimanding.

 

So driving slowly on the left

May earn some bright lights flashing

Or someone on your tail whose heft

May threaten rear-end bashing.

 

It isn’t nice, but most of us

Would actually expect it

And those affected rarely fuss

But grudgingly accept it.

 

Yet lately some aggressive fools

Are tailing right lane drivers

In violation of the rules,

Which may leave no survivors.

 

The attitude I see today,

Which seems to be contagious,

Is “Me, me, me – don’t block my way!”

On roads, it is outrageous!
