I love my truck! I have a big old 99 Suburban Chevy model. One of the biggest they made. I love driving on the road with my Burby!
So there I was driving, singing, having a fabulous time when suddenly I saw ahead of me a congestion of traffic. A three car accident had slowed things right down. It seemed they were all okay and the police were handling it. Meanwhile, everyone was crawling along. I was watching and waiting for my opportunity to get past all of this congestion. What had been six lanes of flowing traffic was now only three, one lane going west, another east, and a single turning lane. It was horrible.
I slowly came closer to my chance to make a move. Looking around I could see an older woman in the turning lane, obviously upset. Horns were blaring behind her and she hadn’t managed to make her turn to the mall. You could see she was scared with all the cars zipping around her way too close. The drivers behind her were honking their horns and she looked like she was about to cry.
It was my turn to pass through. But, instead of just passing her by, I used my big old truck to block the way of any other car who might have got in her way, and I motioned for her to turn into the mall. She kept shaking her head, no, and I kept motioning for her to go. The people behind me were not happy either!
Finally after a few more waves she looked and saw I was blocking things for her. She took the chance and off she went into the mall. A few more cars followed her from the turning lane, then a woman motioned for me to go and off I went! Sometimes the best way to get things moving is to block something. And me and my big old truck are good at that!

The goal, is the scope we always come across
Either in the playground or on the road side too
Movements to success and helping are the humanity
All puts quick actions in helping, but the event
Proved slow movement can equally wins the game
My hearty appreciation

God bless!
P.S. I'm trying to clean up my "language," but I love your sense of humor ;)
