Summer Road Trip

 

Always when it's hot and
my brow is dripping with sweat,
only then is it prime time

for a summer road trip.

 

My squealing tires hit the pavement,
every so often I stop to make a
pit stop and out of a huge big gulp 
of iced lemonade I take a sip.

 

Each night as I stop at Denny's or at
an all night diner when I'm
finished with my supper,
I have to leave the red helmet
haired, chesty waitress a big tip.

 

Pulling over to pay a toll
every few miles is such a rip!

 

Sometimes while you're on

your summer  road trip,
you find yourself arguing

with your shotgun partner

because they give

you too much lip.

 

After being cooped up for too long
and too many RedBulls, I get feisty
and feel like cracking my whip!

 

Then my boyfriend 

and I pull over to get
a motel room, where my

skinny jeans can unzip.

 

Staying home is comfy and fun,
but sometimes an exciting summer
road trip is just the spicy thing
you need to liven your

life up a bit!

A road trip can be fun. I miss the road trips. Gas prices stop me from my wandering. I like your story and the happy ending. A excellent poem.

I honestly am lost for words, having never been on a summer road trip, but sipping lemonade in the shade Sounds so cool the motel stop was worth the trip

I love summer road trips, even though its hot you get to spend time with great people. I love how you captured the whole feeling of being on a road trip from stopping to get lemonade to cracking the whip. Great write.

So many people don't enjoy summer road trips because its too hot and the roads are even more crowded than normal. This was a great reason to enjoy them! Great write.
