Joy and Ride went for a spin
  Round each bend, a wicked grin
Those seatbelts they weren't fastened in
  The ones that stank of rum and gind

Premium Member Enjoy Your Flight

The doubters were stifled as doubters will
When a plane took off on Kill Devil Hill,
Just after Wilbur said to Orville Wright,
“Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy your flight”.

Early Trip

Once we were very young,
Our journey had begun,
We bounced around in the back,
No seatbelts, alas, alack,
I was rubbing the hair of Grandpa Jack,
Trying to drive, with me on his back,
That was 'the good old days',
Vanished in nostalgic haze!

A Speeding Track

Driving is not a sport for the unrehearsed,
practice makes perfect on a speeding track.

The steering wheel is a discus, blunt and capable of slicing/dicing.
A handbrake? A pull-snap-stop bone break.
Electric windows are guillotines; seatbelts are nooses in softer attire.

An Olympian goes for gold; drivers should settle for bronze on a road.

Premium Member A Faded Polaroid Snapshot

Long, winding gravel driveway
  decrepit old Mercury station wagon
    parked there
    doors unlocked
    those big red buttons
    sticking up
     no seatbelts either
Tiger lilies blooming
  all-at-once, on  
  either side
  of the gravel
A few years later
  a cockeyed backboard
  appeared on a tree
    supporting an
    uneven, rickety
    basketball rim

Winters we spent shoveling snow

Seatbelts

Public annoucement number two
Cruising through Georgia don't drink and drive
July first those good old boys better buckle their seat belts
In the pick-up trucks and stop the texting it kills
TEENS no cell phones used while driving, EVER!

New laws in Georgia, yall!!
Lawmakers finally care if the rednecks get killed, who would have thought anybody 
would care about those guys?!
They are just comic relief!

Chemo Fun

Sitting in the backseat ~ yackety
she drives like
    crackers ~ wackedy
speeding to the movies?
we can’t be late?
Driver ahead asleep at the
    light
panic stop she makes ~ 5 seatbelts lock
But the 
backlash! ........... flying wig
plops smack in my lap . . . .
Screaming fits of laughter all around.
Late to the movies after all,
    not nearly as good.

Premium Member Its Enough To Drive You Crazy

To be healthy I'm told I must exercise a lot
Eat no junk food or your going to go to pot

Wear a helmet when your bike you ride
And latch seatbelts in case you should collide

Be sure to get an adequate amount of sleep
And always be sure to look before you leap

I'm told beware of ingesting to much table salt
If you get hypertension it will be your own fault

Its hard to remember all the things that one should do
Oh, oh, now I'm reminded my insurance I must  renew
