A horn sounded and of course
I ignored it, I hate honking
it really bugs me.
It sounded again and this time
I was forced to look and see...
what I had done wrong.
I thought back and I
hadn’t erratically changed lanes
in the last two miles.
I hadn’t squeezed myself in
where I didn’t fit.
I wasn’t going too fast
and I wasn’t riding the brake...
and then I thought oh I know
my gas tank door is probably open
again, but
a quick check in the rearview
proved negative.
Well I just cut my hair, yes that’s it
they must think I am someone
they know, so
I shrugged and let it go.
But then it sounded again.
Perturbed, my eyebrows furrowed
who keeps honking?
I turned to the car keeping pace
with me only to be dumbstruck by
a pair of gorgeous eyes
attached to a light your day face
smiling and waving at me.
His thumb and finger gave me the a okay
and traffic took him away.

Nothing had changed, not really
I was still in my car
I was still late for work and no
his face again I will probably never see
but for some odd reason
I am smiling
he honked at...
me

And this poem leaves me smiling! *S* Of course, if he'd gotten a look at those legs of yours, he would never have been satisfied with a wave! *G* Great going, jb!
