Poem Title:
Poem
There are places that I have got to go. I’ve got my tunes cranked on the radio Playing “Wild Thing” while the kids all sing along. It may not be a “Magic Carpet Ride” But it will comfortably seat eight inside. Well, to heck with what the culture says, I am right where I belong… I’m the epitome of the macho man! Got my kids strapped into the mini-van. All those soccer moms ain’t got a thing on me. Got it in control. Going just as planned. Me and my kids in the mini-van. Gonna hit the park and then get some groceries. Just a rebel on the open road, that’s me. There are times we just want to explode. Got a craving for that open road. I guess rebellion’s in my bones and in my blood. I got my “Good Vibrations” going on. With the windows down it’s all “Fun, Fun, Fun” And with the stroller and the diaper bag I just look like such a stud… You can’t put the top down, but that’s all right by me. I’m just glad to share the ride with my growing family. I’ll never win a drag race but I don’t really mind. It gets us where we’re going. We can leave our cares behind… There are shallow fools that laugh and mock But the kids all tell me, “Dad, you rock!” As we carefully observe all the traffic rules. It’s no motorbike, it’s no pickup truck. Doesn’t make my ego run amok. And we laugh at those who look down their nose for we know that we are cool… Well, I got some news from the lovely wife. Another little change in my “rebel” life. Some might disagree, but I think it’s really neat. So, I pack the kids up and strap them all in. And we head on down the road again To the retail store for the coming “one more”! We need a brand new baby seat… I’m the epitome of the macho man! Got my kids strapped into the mini-van. All those soccer moms ain’t got a thing on me. Got it in control. Going just as planned. Me and my kids in the mini-van. Gonna hit the park and then get some groceries. Just a rebel on the open road, that’s me.
