The number of tickets I get in a monthis sometimes more than one.
It is not a thing I do
because I find it fun.
I drive dramatically
to arrive before I’m done.
It is the strategy
of a racing champion.

My family believes
it’s an awful thing to do
but I’m happy to get to places
quickerer than you.
If pedal to the metal
gets me to the finish fast
then great! No debating,
I’ll be quickly hauling ass.

I’ll speed.
I’ll speed.
I’ll speed in word and deed
whether or not there is a need.
I’ll not smoke the devil weed,
no barriers will impede.
I’ll speed!

I’d have a further verse
if I’d left time to rehearse
but instead I’ll cut it short
and all further chat abort.
I’ll just get onto the road
and not anymore be slowed.

I’ll speed!
