Multitasking

What am I doing?
I’m multi-tasking,
it’s not going well
but thanks for asking.

I’m out on the highway
and I’m not alone
ten thousand drivers
all on the phone.

I’m eating my breakfast,
a bagel with cheese,
and steering my car
with my elbows and knees.

Just finished shaving
and combing my hair,
in my rear-view mirror
I look so debonair.

I’m sending an email
while I’m on hold
and drinking my coffee
before it gets cold.

My laptop is loading
a brand new CD
and I’m watching the news
on my dashboard TV.

My Blackberry’s blinking
there’s a message to check
hope I can do that
without causing a wreck.

Rush hour’s a nightmare
a crisis is looming
with all these commuters
gabbing and grooming.

This is no way
for a nation to thrive
so take my advice:
please hang up and drive!
