1.Upon Getting His New Driving License

Congrats, son! On getting your new license
Now, you can drive the family car
Thanks Dad
But remember to keep your eyes on the road
I need to read road signs!
Only the relevant ones!

2.Couple in an Open Top Sports Car

Such fun to be here!
Yes, cruising along the beach
With the cool breeze caressing my face
And bikini-clad beauties walking by…..
Keep your eyes on the road
But there are road signs to read
I said keep your eyes on the road!

  4. Not only eyes must be peeled open, but anticipation is another skill he must acquire in order to drive safely nowadays.

  11. I remember the fear of death my son's newly acquired driver's license caused me. I'm so glad my mother took him driving. Love the second one!

  12. Perhaps blinkers should be the norm for guys driving along a beach! You've tucked some good advice into this that can be metaphors for life. Focus! I like how you used dialogue.
