Early Morning Uber

Before I watched a movie,

(On the plane, which I enjoyed)

The day began with an event 

Which more than just annoyed.


At 4 a.m. our Uber driver,

On the FDR,*

While in the far left lane decided

He would stop the car.


Now at that hour, traffic’s light,

Yet we were still in luck

That a speeding auto hadn’t,

Into our stopped Uber, struck.


We yelled out to the driver

Who complained he couldn’t see,

For the brights were on the car behind -

That’s pure insanity!


In a minute, though, he hit the gas 

And we were on our way,

A slightly stressful start

To what would be a busy day.
