THE ROAD TRIP FROM HELL: WITH KIDS<\/font><\/p>\n

A Collab<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Get in the car kids,
\nbuckle yourselves up.
\nHere is your soda pop.
\nDon\u2019t spill your cup.<\/font><\/p>\n

But mom I don\u2019t like cherry.
\nBilly has my root beer.
\n\u2026I have to go to the bathroom.
\nCan we stop here?<\/font><\/p>\n

In about fifteen minutes
\nthen we will stop to rest.
\nHold it in a bit longer.
\nJust do your best.<\/font><\/p>\n

Can we stop at the snake farm?
\nI want the boa constrictor
\nto squeeze out the guts
\nof my big brother Victor.<\/font><\/p>\n

Now behave you two.
\nShame on you Billy.
\nNow we are here.
\nYou can relieve your willy.<\/font><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not my willy
\nthat is bothering me.
\nIt is my bladder
\nfull of root beer and pee.<\/font><\/p>\n

Okay there Billy,
\nyou smarty pants you.
\nWhile we are here
\ntry to take a poo.<\/font><\/p>\n

But I went already
\nbefore we left home.
\nCould you go in with me Mom,
\nthen come back to your poem?<\/font><\/p>\n

Just give it a try
\nbecause on down the road.
\nI don\u2019t want you to say
\nI need to drop a load.<\/font><\/p>\n

No worries mommy,
\nmy system\u2019s cleaned out
\nexcept for my bladder,
\nof that there\u2019s no doubt.<\/font><\/p>\n

Okay so go pee,
\nthen buckle up boys
\nfor a little more traveling.
\nRead or play with your toys.<\/font><\/p>\n

Ok mom, we\u2019re ready to go.
\nOh wait, my DVD\u2019s stuck.
\nThis trip is too boring
\nwithout Donald Duck.<\/font><\/p>\n

Back in our youth traveling days
\nmy brother and I
\nwould count all the barns
\nand planes up in the sky.<\/font><\/p>\n

Oh ok we will try that.
\nHey Vic, you count the jets.
\nI\u2019ll count the barns.
\n\u2026Mommy, ARE WE THERE YET?<\/font><\/p>\n

Not just yet boys,
\nIn about one more hour.
\nKeep playing the count game.
\nSoon we\u2019ll pass the lighthouse tower.<\/font><\/p>\n

Can we stop there
\nand climb up to the top?
\nThat light hurts my eyes.
\nMaybe I can make it stop.<\/font><\/p>\n

Not this time boys,
\nWe are too pressed for time.
\nWe must get there for dinner.
\nGrandma made homemade key lime.<\/font><\/p>\n

But I hate that flavor,
\nit makes my mouth pucker.
\nAnd Grandma smells like mothballs.
\nCan I have a sucker?<\/font><\/p>\n

Grandma always has her candy.
\nShe will surely have some.
\n\u2026Okay there boys.
\nwe are now at her home.<\/font><\/p>\n

Oh all right, mom,
\nI forgot about that.
\nBring it on Grandma!
\nOh darn, I just shat.<\/font><\/p>\n
