ONE STREET AT A TIME

 

With white-out conditions out there

Some drivers think it’s unfair…

That plows won’t do

Their own street too,

And keep it more than just fair.

–

One hundred, two hundred trucks,

Out in the city to buck…

Mostly main streets

Where emergency fleets

Have to run with any luck.

–

Plowing right to the road

Means traffic slowed…

With faster passes

The driving masses

Are safer without being towed.

–

Using sand increases traction

On roads less needed for action…

My town has a mix,

Salt/sand which sticks

Enabling proper enaction!

–

Some folks have come back to stay

For a while til snowfall goes away…

When road crews can sand

Gaining the upper hand,

Until then, make coffee and pray.
