Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Roadmap of My Life

Now that I'm in the driver's seat,

Must give a smooth ride my best try.

Can't let my engine overheat.

Running on all cylinders, I,

Full throttle am moving ahead,

Confidant I'm on the fast track,

No reason for shifting gears, instead

Cruise control forward, don't look back.

I hear her yelling, "Hit the brakes,"

"Before you hit a pothole, and"

"You're prone to direction mistakes."

"Is this the bumpy ride you planned?"

Of course the wife is bugging me,

As backseat driver she must be.
