Driving

Driving quickly in my car.
I go fast and I go far.
Turning left and turning right.
I go straight. Stop at the light.
-
I speed up and then slow down,

driving all around the town.

Driving safely in my car,

sometimes I don't get that far.

Stuck in traffic.

I can't go where I should be.

Stuck in traffic.

I can't go there now.

I am stuck in traffic.

He is stuck in traffic.

We are stuck in traffic.

And we don't know what to do.

I am stuck in traffic.
He is stuck in traffic.
We are stuck in traffic.
And we don't know what to do.
