Caution! Wet Tunnel Ahead! Raining again, yes, you might even say it was a dark and stormy night, best be heeding the warning signs, though you’ve been given the green light. Stay focused on what lies ahead, this road might throw you a curve, for it leads to a darkened tunnel, do be careful not to swerve! It’s slippery, oh it’s quite wet, from the rain, don’t you know? It isn’t what you’re thinking, do you think I’d stoop that low? Then again, I COULD say, I know this tunnel very well, sometimes it can be tricky, and it gets as hot as hell! One thing I know for certain, you’ll want to take it sure and slow, it takes extra skill and caution, just watch out for the tidal flow! © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

Thanks Nan and Walt! Rather risque, I know, but I couldn't resist, needed to lighten up a bit. Corinne |

Still very much a 'newbie' here- - I did not realize - that poetry such as this (admittedly very witty- but also to my mind - very suggestive) could be posted in open forum - I must review my thinking - of what I post where (keeping a close eye on wording of course) Did I say I liked it? most certainly I did! |

Thanks, Wilfred! Well, me thinks this one is real borderline as far as what's allowed, but hey! Welcome to Passions! Corinne |

Well, I really liked this the first time, and now seeing that last comment I like it even better. I think it inspired me to write another poem, awhile back...  Parker |

Jeez, Corinne!! Ya made me go back in time to pull out my original reply So there I was at 2 a.m. Just flying down the road. I was moving way too fast Due to my heavy load But there was just one final curve And I would be home free. I had to get to Corinne's tunnel Waiting there for me. I knew that it was dangerous, The opening was small And my old rig was pretty large And ran on alcohol But I felt I could make it fit With little room to spare And so I sped to Corinne's tunnel Waiting for me there. I didn't see the caution lights That gave off amber glares. I didn't see the sign that read "Closed down for repairs". My Peterbilt had too much speed. It had a head of steam And, wildly, it crashed up against The tunnel of Corinne's. The doc says I will walk again - My driveshaft was destroyed. I only have fond memories Of drives I once enjoyed. So listen to me, truckers all, These few wise words I speak.... Don't ever challenge Corinne's tunnel On the wrong day of the week!!  |
