In A Car

The slam of a door,

The pop of a trunk,

The gasoline pour,

And something go, kerplunk!

 

The engine as it rumbles,

The wheels as they squeak,

The child as he mumbles,

And the breaks that are weak.

 

The parents who fight,

The children who scream,

The baby who bites,

And out comes the steam!

 

The driver up front,

The luggage in back,

The fish that stunk,

And the duck that said, “quack.”

 

All of this goes down,

All in a car,

Al before town,

All before far.
