Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Missed Messaging

I'm driving down the road and see
Some religious fanatics who
Are holding signs waving at me,
"The end is near." What do I do?
I curse them out as I drive by,
Yell that they're only in the way.
Why must they be a bother, why?
Hey get a life is what I say.
Still peeved I just keep driving on,
Speed up to make up for time lost.
Then suddenly, the road is gone.
Into the river I get tossed.

More useful sign for me, no doubt,
Would have been one, "The bridge is out."
