Notes About The Poem

Fred Flintstone

Fred Flintstone couldn’t wait to leave work and get home
To be greeted by Wilma and served a brontosaurus bone
Fred was content as he laughed and yelled * “Yabba dabba do"
The prehistoric caveman’s popularity became iconic and grew
 

*Fred Flintstone's infamous and iconic saying from the Flintstone's cartoon.

Dear Tania, This one made me smile right away! You’ve captured Fred Flintstone perfectly with that mix of joy, chaos, and classic cartoon charm. I love how you bring him to life with the brontosaurus bone, Wilma’s greeting, and that iconic “Yabba dabba do!” It’s short, snappy, and full of energy, just like Fred himself. Blessings, My Dear Tania, Daniel

Tania, you've captured history with great accuracy. Many have said that program was based on the Honeymooners. It was certainly popular. Actually nice that Fred wanted to get home. He was lucky in that way. You've made me think it's too bad he was not more fond of work. Many people are stuck in dead-end jobs. It's really too bad. Take care and smiles!!

I will certainly give this one some thought. There are so many that I enjoyed:- The Bugs Bunny Show, Bravestarr, Thundercats, Sailormoon, Scooby Doo, Hong Kong Phooey, Inspector Gadget, Carmen San Diego, Pinky & the Brain, Animaniacs. Happiness overload!

What do kids know of The Rubbles, the driving toes, the Jackie Gleason-like Fred and his likewise Ed Norton-like Barnie. How wonderful those cartoons were! Pebbles and Bam-Bam! …and the daily vitamins… just a few of my favorite things :)

Kim, thank you. I hope you write for the contest. The cartoons these days are nothing like the classic ones I grew up with like the Flintstones and the Jetsons.
