Step Aside You’re Blocking My Ride
Excuse me dude,
Not to be rude
But I’m not too pleased with your position
Step aside,
You’re blocking my ride
And I’ve got some place I just gotta be
You got good taste
And a choice standing place
But you gotta move and do it real soon
My hands are tingling
Keys ‘a jingling
Taking that ride to the races
Where the crowd will hear,
The sounds of my gears
Shifting down hard through the turns
Running real cool
On that Hi-Octane fuel
Accelerating with the greatest of ease
But I’m stuck ‘till you fly
Can’t you be a good guy
And step a couple feet to the left
That sweet checkered flag
Just waiting to snag
With the field in the dust far behind
Fans scream and shout
Infield burnout
Girls, Champaign, and even a trophy
I need to race
So get out of my space
I’m a driver and my temper is brewing
I might take a swing
I’m wearing a ring
Guaranteed you’ll have a knot on your head
Step to the right
Or we’re gonna fight
Better get the lead from your ass
Last chance
Step away, or we dance
Here’s your chance; what say you?

A real “in your face” piece here, Ralph. I could feel the tension and impatience. Good job.
I enjoyed the poetry but kept glancing at the cool muscle cars. Hope you are well. Jamie
Sometimes you just gotta blurt it out when getting to where you want to be. Well done, Ralph.
