Poem Title:
Poem
I was flying down the highway, at a mighty rate of knots The white posts flashing past me just a blur Off home to my girl friend, for whom I had the hots When out on to the road there came this cur I made a swerve off to the right, just as he did the same I made a quick adjustment, when he changed He was ducking and a weaving, as if it was a game I knew then that my future was arranged The two wheels on the driver's side, were six inches in the air Fighting with the wheel to get them down A prayer flashed through my mind, get me out of here I swear Promise I will go to Church next time in town A tree I did not see coming, branches aimed right at the screen I knew then that my life had reached its end Thinking of the places, it would be better to have been I knew that I would never take the bend I felt no pain I looked around, knew Whoopi was somewhere Hoping She would get me through the gate I could look forward to a future, full of happiness, no care I would never more have trouble on my plate I knew things were not going well, when Whoopi did not come In her place a smiling very young George Burns He looked me in the eye and said, this is not your home Some folks have to go back to take more turns He was gone before I realised, I was there all alone The clouds and pearly gates, it seemed were gone In their place a handsome doctor, and nurses in white gowns I had the strangest Déjà Vu, so bring it on My memory was fading fast, the world seemed very new My bum got smacked, I yelled out in surprise I suppose I did the other things, that newborn babies do Looks around at all the people, and then cries They gave me to my mother, she held me oh so tight Even gave my dark damp hair a little curl But it was the next bit, where I really got a fright Welcome to our happy family, baby girl
