Sweet Temptations

It was Monday morning and the traffic crawled back to back
With cars like matchboxes in a stack

On my left was the car pool lane
With cars zipping past without a pain

To move to this lane would have been sweet
To zip past the others would have been a real treat

But I didn’t and just stuck to my sorry state
Whining that for the 9 am I would be late

Before you praise my love for the law
And hold my good citizen virtues in awe

Let me also tell you about a cop car that I noticed from far
But which ended up being just another beaten down black and white car

Oh, to move to the car pool lane would have been so sweet

To zip past the others would have be a real treat!
