Ode on a Flintstones
Tumbler
John Keats helped with this but refused to take any
credit. He must be modest
Thou still unmoving car of wood and stone
Forever carrying the Flintstones and the Rubbles
Off to the movies – Rock Hudson to be shown?
And a childhood half-hour of comic troubles
Heard yabba-dabbas are sweet, but those unheard
We’ll have to speak ourselves over milk and cereal
Wilma, of course, always has the last word
But we’ll contribute to the writers’ material
Fred’s feet are truth, not beauty, - but off they go
Taking us with them – so on with the show!
