Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear

Objects in mirror are closer than they appear;

so watch out and keep looking to your rear;

it only takes a second to realize that

this the message is not a guise.

When changing to another lane,

it becomes a shock to your brain

when people’s horns start blaring

and at the top of their lungs they’re swearing

like it was something that you did;

but really, who are they trying to kid?

They speed like it’s the Autobahn;

except here in America, we don't have one.

But you can't tell by the way people drive;

it’s a miracle that you're alive and

now it’s a personal vendetta.

Look out because they're coming to get'cha,

out of their way, or you'll regret it;

this is their road and it has their name on it.

With their unmitigated audacity, it seems

their brains don't have the capacity;

they think it’s everyone’s fault except theirs.

Reasoning with them is like splitting hairs;

it’s better to just give them the right away

than resist and they end up ruining your day.

It just comes to bite you back in the end;

with people like them you can never win.

So the next time you gaze in the side view mirror

realize there is always a loose one in the area;

don't fool yourself into thinking

just because your signal light is blinking

and the distance between you and them seems a ways;

just let them pass, and believe what the mirror says.
