Cool

Accidental Poet

 

The definition of cool

Depends on who you ask

Could be of your personal interest

Occasionally worn like a mask

 

A variation of temperature

Not warm and not really cold

“But take a sweater just in case”

This you might be told

 

A sign of approval

On a job well done

A handshake with thanks

Future trust is won

 

The rumble of a ’32 Deuce Coupe

Thundering fire from chrome pipes

Chopped top and drag slicks

“Hey man, that ride is nice”

 

And the youth of today

Backwards ball caps and pants falling down

Big kids on small bikes

Riding all over town

 

Cars that go boom

Cars that go jump jump

Hear it coming a mile away

Feel the bass go thump thump

 

You can ask all your teachers

But they won’t tell you in school

It’s something you learn from your generation

The meaning of “cool”

        Thanks for a witty, cool and entertaining poem.

        Went to see the legendary Blondie in London last week as part of their UK tour. Blondie - that is iconic cool!

              Cool poem, AP (I know it's been said, but it's true!) An excellent write with great rhymes and rhythm. Always love your poems!

              • Accidental Poet

                Thank you Christina. Can never have too many cools.

              • Michael Edwards

                Great write. The language is being continually strangulated - when I asked my granddaughter how she was she replied: 'I'm well in' - seems like 'cool' is so yesterday!!

                • Accidental Poet

                  You know, I was thinking just that Michael. What will the next word be to describe something favorable? Thanks for reading and complimenting.

                • FredPeyer

                  • Accidental Poet

                    GROOVY? WOW man, haven\'t heard that in a while. Like wicked pissa dude.
                    Thanks Fred.

                      I am a child of the 60's! Maui Wowie, groovy, bell bottom pants.... the lot!
