Are we nearly there Dad?
Is it very far?
Oh he is going to drive me mad
We had just got in the car
Are we nearly there Dad?
Have we far to go?
Oh God this is bad
We had only gone a mile or so
Are we nearly there Dad?
Is it far away?
Why don’t you take out your i-pad
There must be games you can play
Are we nearly there Dad?
I really have to ***
I know this is sad
I think he’s doing this deliberately
Are we nearly there Dad?
Is it much further?
I’m losing what patience I had
I will be done for ******.
Are we nearly there Dad?
This is taking a long time
Please, please stop asking lad
Before I commit an awful crime
Are we nearly there Dad?
This is not much fun
You are getting on my nerves a tad
Please give it over Son
Are we nearly there Dad?
I am feeling very sick
Just one more problem to add
I am at the end of my wick
Are we nearly there Dad?
I am really bored
I hope this is just a fad
He might stop if he’s ignored
Are we nearly there Dad?
He asked rather sleepily
If he sleeps I will be glad
I thought, rather guiltily
Are we nearly there Dadeeee?
He started to whine
Why must he keep on and on at me
I really feel like crying
Are we nearly there Dad?
I said yes, five minutes more
It was a white lie, what a cad
But at last, I heard him snore.
Are we nearly there Dad?
I said "yes son, eventually"
“I just want to go home Dad!!”
he began screaming incessantly
Are we nearly there Dad?
Louder and louder he screams
It’s been years since those trips we had
But I still hear him in my dreams!
Are we nearly there Grandad?
my grandchildren ask me now
these days I don't find it too bad
I've gotten used to it somehow!
