Oh No Robbie

Oh why did you go to your friends and drink beer?
Oh why did you get on that dirt bike and drive down the highway?
Oh how did you not see Kansas?
Oh no third gear doing 40+
Oh no a thud and a scream,
Oh no blood everywhere!
Oh no Robbie your only 16
Oh no no-one knows now what will happen

Author notes

My nephew was at a friends home drinking beer, on Sat night, he leaves on a dirt bike, hits a woman walking on the side if the highway. Both are in critical condition,  Please pray for Robbie and Kansas.

Please tell me what you think

    So so sad

    Hi Poetess, First of all what a sad story. I feel so sorry for those involved and hope they make a full recovery.

    This is a wonderful bit of writing because it is so immediate and it does what poetry should do, it makes you think. I thought about the woman and her family. I thought about Robbie and how this will affect him for the rest of his life. Most of all I thought about how we should talk to our children spend loads of time with them and teach them to think.

    Thanks for posting this.
