A Tale

Yancy and the Drive Over

By Kat OgeaPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

A Tale

85 miles an hour

State trooper - to clock him for sure

Yancy is not worried

He does not get pulled over

“Gonna drive this Mother Fucker”

Belle Chasse to New Orleans

Twenty minutes

Lobster gumbo and roasted asparagus

“Gonna drive this Mother Fucker”

Not drunk

No road rage

Cop killer

“Gonna drive this Mother Fucker”

From the 70s to the present

Pieces of body and uniform

Some never to be found

“Gonna drive this Mother Fucker”

Cops doing their duty

Murderers acting out theirs

Still ends in cop deaths and fear

“Gonna drive this Mother Fucker”

Interstate Trail and the Pine to Palm

New Orleans, Louisiana to Winnipeg, Canada

Almost to Effie’s

“Gonna drive this Mother Fucker”
