Jan Allison Poet Footle

Notes About The Poem

Dangerous Driver Footles

Young buck
steals truck

Drives fast
Flies past

Beeps horn
To warn

Road rage
Rampage

Cuts in
Too thin

Fender 
Bender

Crashed car
Poor Pa!*

Huge mess …
confess

In cell
It’s hell

In clink
Can think

British way of saying 'pa' which sounds like 'par'*

James Fraser June 10, 2015 at 3:29 PM This should go up in all the Police Stations, just hopefully word of mouth will suffice, and less shall be. Nice message Jan, hugs, James xx Jan Allison June 10, 2015 at 3:35 PM Thanks James it does send out a strong message but in a fun form:-) Hugs jan xx

Richard Lamoureux June 8, 2015 at 10:59 AM These are fun Jan. Jan Allison June 8, 2015 at 11:42 AM Thanks Richard - there is a humourous side to them but also a more serious lesson. Hope you will join my footles contest if you have time. Have had 2 mails from mama bear - wow she is amazing just like her son! my thoughts are with you all:-) Hugs jan xx

Emile Pinet June 7, 2015 at 9:27 AM The words are easy to relate to and the story is all too familiar. Good work! Emile. Jan Allison June 7, 2015 at 9:30 AM Footles are meant to be humourous - this is a little serious - I do hope you will join my footles contest Emile if you read 'spoilt brat' footles you will see the type of thing i am hoping to see:-) Hugs Jan xx

Jack Ellison June 7, 2015 at 6:48 AM Very unique approach... very effective too! Enjoyed it muchly as I do with all your stuff! Hugs, Jack xxx Jan Allison June 7, 2015 at 6:52 AM Thanks Jack. I hope you will join in the fun and enter my footles contest - If you have a look at 'spoilt brat footles you will get more of an idea what I am after - need more humour than this particular poem which is actually quite serious but the footle form suited it too:-)hugs Jan xx

Tim Smith June 7, 2015 at 2:18 AM These are great Jan...I was able to put together some between baseball games : ) ....if you get a chance read Charma and my collaboration under Cupid's Arrow.... Warning you might cry....its about friendship and loss Jan Allison June 7, 2015 at 2:20 AM oh thanks I will do Tim :-) Guess I will be able to relate to it in so many ways:-) Hugs jan xx

Constance La France June 6, 2015 at 6:01 PM Jan, I agree you are so creative with these footles , a 7 and thanks for visiting my queen poem Jan Allison June 6, 2015 at 6:09 PM Thanks Broken Wings - this is a little sad for a footle which is meant to be humourous but I do have fun penning these little gems of a poem:-) hugs jan xx

Laura Leiser June 6, 2015 at 4:27 PM You are so good at footles AND you're funny, too! You are the perfect person to put on the Footle Contest :) Jan Allison June 6, 2015 at 4:36 PM Thanks Laura - i do hope you will join in the footles fun - this is a little serious for footles but the form fits the words so well - i just want those who enter to have fun:-) Hugs jan xx

Andrea Dietrich June 6, 2015 at 1:48 PM this is really great, Jan. Your style of footles so different from mine. I like to do both syllables rhymed and make the jokes in the titles. But the way you do yours like a story shows us a really cool and fun way to do them differently. Love these. Jan Allison June 6, 2015 at 2:07 PM I was so proud to see Brian Strand has commented on my blog - he invented the form and I hope my interpretation of it does them justice - i know they are designed to be funny but I think this string shows how effective they can be at getting a message across:-) hugs Jan xx My 'spoilt brat' footles i think are more fun:-) Hugs jan xx

Bl Devnath June 6, 2015 at 12:24 PM Beautiful but dangerous footle indeed. In cell, it's hell. So, better not to use while driving. Good advice too. Enjoyed a lot, my lovely friend. 7 i feel. Loved always,bl Jan Allison June 6, 2015 at 12:51 PM thanks so much BL:-) Hugs Jan xx
