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.
