because my mom is paranoid... a poem by me

i was going to just tell you about my little dilemma... but i think it's much more interesting this way. (and i know i'm no poet...this was just for fun, so ignore all the grammatical errors and such) oh and it sounds better if you read it out loud ^^

a drivers licence is a lovely thing
great for getting places, oh the freedom it would bring!
yes, and i'd probably have one today...
if my mom wasn't paranoid of me driving on the freeway

i think i'd do just fine, driving in a strait line
even going real fast... yes, that would be quite fine!
"it's not you i'm worried about, it's everyone else" she would say
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

alas, it is true, and you thought i was joking
but it scares her more than the thought of me smoking
the big trucks and walls off which i might ricochet
are reasons why my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

i'm a safe driver though, really i am!
i look in my mirrors and use both my hands
but that doesn't matter, not to mom anyway
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

and had i my licence, out shopping i'd be
buying christmas presents to put under the tree
but here at home is where i will stay
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

either way, i have no job and no money
and it's not my fault, so stop looking at me funny!
i'd have a job, and it would have really good pay
if my mom wasn't paranoid of me driving on the freeway

and if i had a job, then i could afford a car
to take me places near and far
but a car is pointless, as i have no licence to this day
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

and if i had a car, well that would be awesome!
i'd fill it with junk, go places, kill possums
but i'll have to wait a few years for that kind of play
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

yes, life would be grand, with a licence in hand
i might actually be on time to practice with the band!
but instead i sit here and waste my day away
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway

i have nothing to do! my life is so lame!
everyday is pretty much the same... but i won't complain
i'll just sit here and keep thinking of words that rhyme with "way"
because my mom is paranoid of me driving on the freeway
