Flying down the road
The kids think I’m a troll
Because I’ll only play rock and roll
I sing loud and proud
I like the windows down
Still everybody frowns
They all want to hear one thing
And it’s not music from the king
I raised them on Miles and Coltrane
Mozart and Beethoven
Elvis and Frank
When did their musical tastes tank
They are fanatics about country
Since some of those weenies
Started wearing beanies
I would rather commit harry carry
Than listen to those fairies
About dirt and trucks
And dogs wagging their tails for good luck
I would rather stab myself in the neck
Than to sit back and say what the heck
I was told
I’m just getting old
Better roll up the windows before you catch a cold
Just another old man
Driving a bunch of kids in a mini van
If I could double-follow your poems/blog I would!
Wonderful poem… and most deservéd nomination Ken!

Journey
Lol love Journey! Or I did.
Note to self: Secret weapon=Journey.
All forms of blackmail may be undertaken with this one. *evil laugh*
Thank you Ann! I am honored.
I can’t help it. Country drives me Nuts, it’s almost as bad as Journey. I should be thankful my kids don’t even know who Journey is. Thanks Waywardspirit you always make me think of the positive spin. 🙂
I have nominated you for the Leibster award…because I believe you have a wonderful blog. Check it out at: http://echoingimagesfromthesoul.wordpress.com/
You are clearly wrong Ken…but I still wandered here when I saw your picture on a Simon’s cite and realized didn’t want to wait to find you in my reader. Glad to be back!
I still have so much to catch up on. : )
Well this alter ego of mine…Ira Mae understands “children”…:0)
Physically I’m not that old but my kids think my ways are pre-historic.
Hmmm, Old, I am an expert…I do not think so…great writing….Ira Mae

Well thanks! If only my kids felt the same way. No, they do. They think I’m funny looking. Kidding! 🙂
