Honking and yelling I get quite angry 

Amazon or Doordash will get my therapy bill

All for the silly orange lights on their grill 


So next time you see a driver activate

their hazards which make John irate

flip them the bird and honk the horn 

giving idiotic drivers justified scorn

So I grabbed a fistful of breaks and whipped around to go see what was going on. I roll up and say something like," Excuse me sir, are you alrig...
