The Fast And The Spurious, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)
You are not in a movie, when using public roads
You are not Vin Diesel, your arrogance really shows
You step on the gas, thinking it’s a blast
It only takes one time, dragging down that line
Adrenaline in your veins a casket you will make
Risking other’s lives, over stupid selfish pride
The maker of you muscle car, won’t pay your ticket
They won’t pay your lawyers if someone dies from it
They won’t go to your funeral, they just profit from it
It doesn’t make you a man, it doesn’t make you brave
It just makes you stupid, leading to a possible grave
Looks so much fun, in the TV ads, all that speed isn’t bad?
One little thing, if you really squint, and can read
At the speed of light, it is in the quantum mice print
“Closed course, professional drivers, do not attempt”
So do yourself a favor and don’t have contempt
For the safety of others, or to a morgue you might be sent.
