Raining again, yes, you might even say it was a dark and stormy night, best be heeding the warning signs, though you’ve been given the green light. Stay focused on what lies ahead, this road might throw you a curve, for it leads to a darkened tunnel, do be careful not to swerve! It’s slippery, oh it’s quite wet, from the rain, don’t you know? It isn’t what you’re thinking, do you think I’d stoop that low? Then again, I COULD say, I know this tunnel very well, sometimes it can be tricky, and it gets as hot as hell! One thing I know for certain, you’ll want to take it sure and slow, it takes extra skill and caution, just watch out for the tidal flow! © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

So there I was at 2 a.m. Just flying down the road. I was moving way too fast Due to my heavy load But there was just one final curve And I would be home free. I had to get to Corinne's tunnel Waiting there for me. I knew that it was dangerous, The opening was small And my old rig was pretty large And ran on alcohol But I felt I could make it fit With little room to spare And so I sped to Corinne's tunnel Waiting for me there. I didn't see the caution lights That gave off amber glares. I didn't see the sign that read "Closed down for repairs". My Peterbilt had too much speed. It had a head of steam And, wildly, it crashed up against The tunnel of Corinne's. The doc says I will walk again - My driveshaft was destroyed. I only have fond memories Of drives I once enjoyed. So listen to me, truckers all, These few wise words I speak.... Don't ever challenge Corinne's tunnel On the wrong day of the week!! |

Oh My! Ok, like so as I was reading I was thinking... "nah... she wouldn't be talking about that"~ Then I thought... "she's talking about life... yeah that's it"~ THEN I start reading some of the replies and I think..."Oh my gosh! How hmm... what's the word?!"~ (Sly grin)~ Marie~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |

Corinne, this poem is a real brain drainer. I've been on the road too long, trying to manage all the curves though. Rain hasen't slowed me down, its mainly sunny, and nice sceanery. Can't wait to get to the tunnel, I'll be careful though and patient. Most tunnels have a light at the other end and I'll aim for it. Parker I'm going to have to write another version for this poem in keeping with everybody else. But this suits my adventure in life right now, great poem from you as always. |
