A SONG FOR A BUMPY ROAD

(To the tune of Frosty the Snowman)
Bumpity Bump Bump
Bumpity Bump Bump
Look at children cry
Bumpity Bump Bump
Bumpity Bump Bump
Over the ruined roads
Bumpity Bump Bump
Bumpity Bump Bump
Who thought it was a good idea to put 1400 students in one building,
Most of which can’t drive,
And let them all park in these little lots…
Bumpity Bump Bump
Bumpity Bump Bump
Especially when they can’t even drive in?
Bumpity Bump Bump
Bumpity Bump Bump
Over the 10 potholes we go (woah woah woah oh)
Bumpity Bump Bump
Bumpity Bump Bump
Look at the cars go
As they hydroplane and run into two trees
Bumpity Bump Bump
Bumpity Bump Bump
To high school we go
All jokes aside, even though I will definitely be singing this frosty remix on my way to school in the mornings now, the quality that our roads should be can be agreed upon by everyone. In too many local areas, our infrastructure needs improvements, but one of the first priorities should be the safety of citizens, especially youth. When novice drivers are heading into school nervous about weather conditions, parking, and the amount of people, the last thing that we need is to have to struggle over a nightmarish road that too many students have wrecked on. If driving safety is as important as we are taught it is, then why are the chances of wrecking increased right next to a high school?
