TEXAS BOOTLEG TURN

Used exclusively by the

Texas Highway Patrol

As advised by Mikel

It’s the safest U turn

Period

Stop back up and turn

So you are facing out

And can see traffic

From both directions

Before pulling out

So why do I

Keep making

Haphazard U turns

Upon a whim

Only to have to

Make another one

To get back going

In the same direction

I was going

Why don’t I

Just go into an

Empty parking lot

And drive around

In circles

When I freak out

From now on

I’m going to try

A Texas Bootleg Turn

Back in

Look both ways

Ponder

Then choose my direction

Look at it this way

It might save me from

Making two U turns

If I decide to keep going

In the same direction
