Ode to Rubbernecking on the NJ Parkway

At a snails pace I ride
Five lanes wide
A parking lot at rush hour
But I hang on
Inch by inch
Mile by mile
And all so that I can spy with my little eye
A guy
Who took a turn too wide
Cut the wheel and flipped his truck on its side
**Smash**Crash**Broken Glass
But not a single drop of blood
Damn...I sat thru all that traffic for this?

I'm hearing the Sopranos theme song while I read this.

I hope your sole purpose for for sitting in that traffic wasn't just to see the "smash, crash, broken glass"!
Loved this!

That was funny. And somehow I just knew it had to be some guy's fault.

I hate traffic. At least it was flipped.
It could have been worse - a car with a flat, now that would have made me crazy ;)

A gopher on the side of the road is enough to get a traffic jam going on the Parkway, a car accident...well that could mean you have to camp out for DAYS.

You were lucky my friend. Hope you're feeling well.
