MATRIMONIAL MELODIES: 5. SPEAKING OF DRIVING, by BERTON BRALEY Poet's Biography First Line: I do not mind your telling me Last Line: Damn it, my dearas well as you can. Subject(s): Driving & Drivers | ||||||||
I do not mind your telling me To watch that fellow in the flivver, Or crying "Heavens! Can't you see That traffic copI'm all aquiver!" I don't get mad when you assume I'm in a fog, or dozing, maybe, And won't give lots of space and room For any woman with a baby. When you assume I'll run amuck I keep my calm, as very few can, But I can see a ten-ton truck Damn it, my dearas well as you can. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DRIVING WEST IN 1970 by ROBERT BLY DRIVING HOME by MADELINE DEFREES DRIVING INTO LARAMIE by JAMES GALVIN DIRECTIONS FOR CARRYING EXPLOSIVE NUCLEAR WASTES THROUGH ... by JUNE JORDAN PROMISING AUTHOR by CAROLYN KIZER AFTER TWELVE DAYS OF RAIN by DORIANNE LAUX FINDING WHAT'S LOST by DORIANNE LAUX SINGING BACK THE WORLD by DORIANNE LAUX |
