Up National, Progress

rusty metal on wheels,
clanging down the interstate,
like an angry wheelbarrow,
roadworthy my foot!

even the road is not worthy!
potholes desecrate the road,
driver becomes a stuntman,
meanders better than the F1 racer.

then a tyre squeals,
hissing at us in defiance,
enough is enough, I have to retire
let another take my place

another angry wheelbarrow comes along,
the new driver is smoking! hot
he takes us to our destination,
what a misfit of a journey!
