Poetry for Parents Driving Cars and Poetry for Music Lovers



Are we nearly there yet . . . . . . . DAD
No No there is a long way to go
Are we nearly there yet . . . . . . . DAD
I just said we are not, and the traffic is quite slow
Are we nearly there yet . . . . . . . DAD
No I have just said, why don’t you play I Spy
Are we nearly there yet . . . . . . . DAD
No, will you stop asking or I will hit you with the cat and that will make you Cry
Are we nearly there yet . . . . . . . DAD
Look up there in the sky it’s a large Vampire Zombie Rook.
That eats small children that ask stupid questions
Are we nearly there yet . . . . . . . DAD
Just keep quiet and read a book
Are we nearly there yet . . . . . . . DAD
OK that’s it I have had enough

DAD. . . .Why have you locked me in the Boot I cant see.

I do love some of that Franciscan Funk

And a bit of Hip Hop from Thelonious Monk

Plus a bit of Opera from those chaps at Motown

Or the famous Water Music by that chap Arthur Brown.

Or even that song Nineteen Ninety Nine by Arthur C Clark

And the Star spangled Banner as played at Woodstock by Johann Sebastian Bach

Who as we all know played saxophone with the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band . . . . just for a lark.

Although these days

I do have a problem remembering who plays and sings what

And folk say I am loony and have completely lost the plot.



Mind You

I once played the Bermuda triangle in the band at School

But I was told using a violin bow

Made me look like a fool.

  1. Hahaha! Love it! I'm too young to remember all the artists you mentioned and yet strangely I do. As for the first poem, oh lordy did that ending make me laugh.

    1. It was a tricky one to end that first one and it was the Red Indian Guide that moves my hands about who cant type that come up with that ending. I dont think Red Indians like cats much.

  2. I am thinking that the triangle needs to be the official musical instrument of Bermuda. I did find this information which goes alng with your Scottishness:

    Bermuda has a strong Scottish and Irish cultural presence, and is home to well-known bagpipe bands that draw on those traditions, especially the Bermuda Islands Pipe Band. The bagpipe tradition was brought to Bermuda by Scottish and Irish soldiers from the 18th to the 20th centuries.

    1. Well now I did not know that Bermuda had a pipe band. It just goes to show that this blog is more informative than even I thought. . . . A grand piece of information Mr ESB.
