Safe Johnny

 

Johnny belted up

While Jimmy only frowned...

Johnny hit his seatbelt,

Jimmy hit the ground--

After the crash just Johnny

Was still around.

 

--------------------------

 

"Just 35?," yelled Jimmy,

"I have no time for poking!"

But after hitting

the hairpin curve--no joking--

Jimmy and his car

Started smoking.

 

---------------------------

 

Heading for the restaurant,

Johnny drove with class.

While on a road with double lines,

Jimmy tried to pass.

Johnny had ground beef--

Jimmy had ground glass.

 

---------------------------

 

Lots of space behind the cars

Johnny liked to leave.

Jimmy with his sporty car

Would cut in close and weave.

Now it is a broken arm

Jimmy has up his sleeve.

 

----------------------------

 

Johnny liked the girls

And drove them in his cars.

Jimmy drank his liquor straight

And drove like Mork from Mars.

The girls now sit on Johnny's lap

While Jimmy looks through bars.
