You may have to be at least fifty, Who does remember a cartoon,?
Here he comes, here comes speed racer, he’s a demon on wheels,
He’s a demon and he’s gonna be chasin’ after someone.
A memory of a boy from nighteen sixty six to sixty eight comes alive,
Speed racer, Go speed racer go!, He wore a blue shirt with white collar,
The letter of G In yellow on It, Around his neck a red racing Bandana.
Speed, he wore white pants and lucky red socks, brown loafers and yellow gloves,
A brown, almost black Pompadour like Elvis, eyes of brown with a white open
Face helmut and the letter M on It, Who does remember a cartoon.
Driving his Mach 5 car In many races of adventure and danger, Speed Racer,
He’s gainin’ on you so you better look alive, he’s busy revvin’ up a powerful Mach 5,
And when the odds are against him and there’s dangerous work to do.
pop racer, mom racer, his older brother Rex, the mysterious racer x,
Speed has a girlfriend Trixie, let’s not forget Spaarky his friend and mechani
Yes! little brother Spritle whom with pet chimp chim- chim were always In trouble.
You bet your life Speed Racer, will see It through, go speed racer! go speed racer! go speed racer go!
He’s off and flyin’ as he guns the car around the track, he’s jammin’ down the pedal like he’s
Never comin’ back, adventures waitin’ just ahead, Go speed racer! go speed racer!
Go Speed Racer Go!

Sometimes a silly thought or memory to write about.

None of them are silly Keith, it’s all about the writing and bringing them to life.
I remember that one. 😉

I remember that one, although I favored WB cartoons and Loony Tunes. Got my Grand Daughter hooked on them when she was young…her favorite was Tom and Jerry. She just graduated HS Saturday.
