EDDY-GRAMS: 3. EDDY PARKED HIS CAR, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS First Line: When eddy went ter turn around Last Line: Wuz in his car that day. Subject(s): Automobiles; Ford Motor Company; Cars | |||
When Eddy went ter turn around He sunk his hindmost end, And then he went ter git a plank Ter pry it out agin; While he wuz luggin' back his plank The Devil sent a frend Who parked a littel Ford rite up Aginst his fruntmost end. This made Ed so hoppin' mad That he wuz seein' red; He went a lookin' all around Ter nock off sumwun's hed; He tried ter start the littel Ford But didn't know enuff Fur this was Eddy's Joner Day And luck fur him wuz tuff. Then he hotfuted down the rode Ter git sum perlice help, Fur he wuz so durned seethin' mad He couldn't even yelp; When the cunsterbul and Ed got back They saw the hull Ford bunch A settin' ther in Eddy's car A eatin' picknic lunch. Then Eddy he comenced ter sware, Ter sing hims, and ter pray, Fur he wuz so excited like Yer ort ter heer him say; The cunsterbul then flashed his badge, The simbul of the law, While Eddy did not hesertate A workin' of his jaw. The bunch clum out of Eddy's car Without a sassin' back Fur when they saw the perlice badge They dassent make a crack; They just got in their littel Ford And made their gitaway; The crums of cumfurt Eddy got Wuz in his car that day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DRIVING ALONGSIDE THE HOUSANTONIC RIVER ALONE ON A RAINY APRIL NIGHT by WILLIAM MATTHEWS OLD SONG FOR THE BO by HAYDEN CARRUTH WHAT I'VE BELIEVED IN by JAMES GALVIN THE GREEN AUTOMOBILE by ALLEN GINSBERG THAT'S THE SUM OF IT by DAVID IGNATOW WINDSHIELD by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER PORTRAIT OF A MOTOR CAR by CARL SANDBURG REAR VISION by WILLIAM JAY SMITH DUET, WITH MUFFLED BRAKE DRUMS by JOHN UPDIKE A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND ANTHEM by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS |
