Done While Driving



Twitter, jitter, text and scrawl

Feed your face, have a ball

Curry, hurry, chase and crawl

Take your time, screw it all

Ravel, travel, serve and thrall

Find your boat, sail a yawl

Tackle, cackle, laugh and bawl

Feel your mood, stop a gall

Explore, pastor, big and small

Grant your love, fill a hall

Rattle, battle, deem and brawl

Keep your cool, free a pall

Brighten, lighten, lift and haul

Dole your soul, hew a wall

Arrive, derive, choke and stall

Pick your pals, shop a mall

Compete, retreat, rise and fall

Steer your car, make a call

Driving, striving, jaunting tall

In town and urban sprawl
