Good Mourning, Satan!
I just saw an old Volkswagen
that was driven by a clown.
She had the face of a demon.
She was going through my town.
I said, “Come on demon, baby!
Gotta get out of this place!
I don’t wanna read no stickers!
Or look at your ugly face!”
She just flashed those eyes of Satan,
and gave me an evil grin,
and I knew I’d be in trouble
with the bossman once again.
I said, “Give it hell old demon,
cause I know that’s where your from,
and I know that you can drive that
faster than a shooting gun!”
And she said, “You got that right boy!
I’m a demon through and through!
And the Devil sent me here from hell
to torment all of you!
I drive slow in front of workers,
never reaching 45,
and I weave behind the travelers
in a pickup truck I drive!
I’m always in the left lane
with a big Ohio plate,
driving you slowly insane,
driving you toward your fate
of a very tight white jacket
and some pills at Eastern State.”
And I give up.

And the Germans say, “Fahren Sie zur Hoelle,” you’ll get there faster, and with such a Devil sent tormentor, giving up was the ultimate response.
At least they use the “Sie”. I reckon it’s more polite that way.
Perhaps so…
The dialogue in this really brings is so amusing while being so true and relatable. Can’t decide if the use of ‘mourning’ instead of ‘morning’ in the title is intentional or not, but that really doesn’t change how well this poem is put together. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, sir! Yes, it is intentional. I often joke at work that I spell my mornings with a “u”.
Amazing!
Thanks!
Love it! I feel like you could set this to music and it’d be very Devil Went Down to Georgia! 🙂
Thanks. I can see that.
