Tom Cunningham Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Not a Good Idea

Not a good idea, a drive down to the beach
Grandpa's eyes hurt because of the light 
Some passers by looked and nearly died of fright
Eddie responded' with a blood curdling screech
They get to the beach Eddie wants ice cream
Herman goes to pay the girl let's out a scream
Not a good idea, a drive down to the beach.
