Attitude Adjustment

Life is such a struggle when there’s little in me good

It’s hard to be a Christian, always acting as I should

It doesn’t matter how I try, my good nature’s arrested

And while I’m on my way to church my attitude is tested

I started merging to my left because my lane was ending

A dude was on my fender with a message he was sending

His message was non-verbal, but I saw his middle finger

My challenge is to see to it my anger doesn’t linger

I pulled into a drive through for a bite this Sunday morn

That same dude’s now behind me and was leaning on his horn

I told the clerk, “I’m buying his,” she said, “That’s mighty sweet”

I paid for mine and then I added his to my receipt

When he discovered what I did he showed me then his thumb

I waved to him and pulled ahead, tho feeling kinda dumb

I’m sure the dude felt awkward since he didn’t have to pay

And when I took both meals I bought, with guilt, I drove away
