You See Construction Ahead

Tune: Irving Berlin's "Let's Face the Music and Dance"

You see construction ahead.
The traffic's bumper-to-bumper wherever you drive.
This must be I-95.

You weave like needle and thread;
You out-maneuver with all your skill,
And yet you still
Don't arrive—
You're stuck on I-95.

Ought
We to have up and bought
Heraclitean thought
So soon?

Let's go for Zeno, instead.
That Heraclitus was crazy. All motion is jive,
When you're on I-95, Clive—
Why even bother to drive?
