[AUTHOR'S NOTE 7/20/11: This poem was written to satirize the dire warnings of automotive bumper-to-bumper chaos--that didn't happen--during the much-hyped "Carmageddon" weekend of July 15-17 when a portion of the 405 Freeway was closed from Sherman Oaks to West L.A.]
stay around don't play around
this old town
and you'll find yourself stuck stuck stuck
in an endless car-to-car line
and you won't get to travel on
a lot of people won't get home early tonight
a lot of people will honk their horns tonight
a lot of people will raise their middle fingers tonight
tempers will get hotter
and people will really feel put upon
during L.A. Carmagideon Time
a lot of cars jammed on short-cut routes tonight
a lot of people thinking they're injusticed tonight
they're not going to kick it over
no one will guide them--
it's L.A. Carmagideon Time
