A days journey

Heard the morning chorus
Cheep cheep cheep.

Driving on the motorway
Beep beep beep.

Caught in a traffic jam
Creep creep creep.

All the angry drivers
Bleep bleep bleep!**

Kids in the back seat
Weep weep weep.

Cross the Welsh border
Sheep sheep sheep.

Saw a lovely castle
Keep keep keep.

Watched a lovely sunset
Seep seep seep.

Reached our destination
Sleep sleep sleep.

When I was a kid we lived in

When I was a kid we lived in the country and did a lot of driving. My mother used to lead us all in song. This would have been a fun one to have. It could go on forever, changing the word to rhyme as needed, couldn't it. Very clever Judy

Thanks Judy, your right it

Thanks Judy, your right it could go on forever, if anyone has any suggestions I would like to put them in, it would be like a neopoet days journey. lol. Thanks for all your comments, I'm really surprised it has had so much reaction. Singing songs along the way would be a good addition, it would add to the fun, I already like your mother!
