Welcome To The World Of Wacky Races: Part 1

Rating: 5.0


Wacky races was such a fun, action packed show,
Which would leave us kids so spellbound, that we would grow
To simply adore it over many years.
It seemed the perfect antidote for mortal cares.
I will now describe of all those who chose to race
Across the U.S.A. Some were noble and some lacked grace.
The Slag Brothers, were a couple of cavemen
O It was often hard to understand them,
As Rock and Gravel tended to talk gibberish!
And of course they were decidedly primitive
Because they charged up their 'car ' by hitting it
With their clubs: Although they seemed lacking in wit
They often rebuilt the bonkers Boulder Mobile
From bare rock, again using their clubs, with great guile.
Sergeant Blast and Private Meekly were two fellas/
Who manned the powerful Army Surplus Special.
Blast barked out orders from on top of the tank/ jeep
While poor Meekly just did what he was told. It seemed
Like a little insight into rigid and petty
Military ways. With is large steamroller wheels,
Their vehicle could flatten terrain that was bumpy
As well as rival cars. And its deadly Candy
Canon fired bubblegum which was very sticky.
Consequently, their opponents had to be wary.

Excellent and a great write indeed, it's all coming back to me like a lost dream, again vivid and colourful. Thank you Dominic for this great tribute to Hanna-Barbera and their house of zany cartoon characters.10 and most, most well deserved. Can't wait for part 2.
