I DRIVE
I DRIVE
I drive a truck for work,
It’s so slow I have to lurk,
To the left, going berserk,
As I grind the gear to roll.
I ride a bike for health,
Like a lummox void of stealth,
Shifting out of twelfth,
As I bounce back off a pole.
I drive a car each day,
To my truck and cycle way,
And I honestly just pray,
To each day meet my goal.
To willingly just strive,
For laughter whilst alive,
And to ever slowly drive,
You round the mental knoll.

Re: I DRIVE
Good on ya Adam
....Lummox...now there's a fine word. I looked it up in my big Oxford dictionary which tells me it is of unknown origin.

Thanks buddy,
We all know what that one means, don't we?
This isn't the bush poem, I have it entered in a comp so I can't post it right now mate.

Re: I DRIVE
Aahh Adam, you've got Neville checking his dictionary, well done, although I'm pretty sure Neville knew exactly what lummox meant, he was just curious about where it came from, and now he knows, or doesn't know as the case may be - unknown origins.
And you aren't a lummox darling, not at all, although you have been known to be a bit clumsy from time to time.
