In The DMV

Kelli challenged me to write a parody of Born In The USA and make it about the DMV so here it is... I used inspiration from my friends Joanie's recent experience there. Parodies are but fun to do.

Gone down to a place I dread

The first thing I did was stand in line

End up like a sheep being herded to lunch

Then spent half the day grazing on nothing,

Bored at the DMV, I was

Bored at the DMV, I was

Bored at the DMV

Bored at the DMV

 

Now

Got into a little hostile tiff

She wouldn’t put a license in my hand

Sent me off to another man, so I’d have to start all over again

Pissed at the DMV, I was

Pissed at the DMV, I was

Pissed at the DMV, I was

Pissed at the DMV

 

Went back glowing to her window

Supervisor said, “to give me what I need”

Watched her have a hissy fit

She said, “Does you think I really care”

Saw the  boss stared her down, making her right the wrong

She bite my dust, I was gone

 

I had to wonder why she had a job

With no tact and little charm.

 

Done with this stupidity of state employees

Out the doors- feeling of sweet release

I’m done with raging- gonna move on

Now I have to run, got better places to go

 

Done with the DMV, I am

Done with the DMV

Done with the DMV, I’m long gone forgetting the DMV

 

Done with the DMV

Done with the DMV

Done with the DMV, I’m off to enjoy freedom in my SUV

Purely done for fun :)

LoL I do not miss those days of having to go to the PA DMV!!
Here in bum muck 'middle of nowhere' NE it's a piece of cake and
everyone is so nice. Hell, half the time I'm the only one there when
I go. If not there's one other person..lol. Small town bliss...
Fun write, Good job!

Things aren't that much better north of the border. Got lucky with a 45 minute wait at the Ontario Minstery of Transportation office in downtown Toronto. And that was a fast day for them, too. Sheesh. Hate to see a slow day is like. Thanks for the laughs.

lololololol This was too funny. I always love a pun, a parody, or a satire. I was singing it in my head the entire time I was reading it. I liked the "pissed at the dmv" chorus the best. :)

I love it!!!! Very reminiscent of what Bob Dylan might say if he wrote a song about the DMV. It was melodic and had a touch of Kerouac beat. Love it!

ITDMV is UNIVERSAL, ISN'T IT.. i CAN TOTALLY RELATE. t
TIFF FOR TAT ..CUFF TO CUFF>>
Even in a slow DMV (which there are few) they give you
attitude!!! Thanks for sharing.. hope you don't have to
go there any time soon. And yes sheep herding is their specialty..

LOL!!! This is a subject every red blooded american can agree on.....we all despise going to the DMV!!! Even living in a small town and not having to fight the lines I can appreciate that the state tends to put snarky women behind those counters,lol. Thanks for making me smile, this was fun to read :)

Brilliant! Although I don't know what the DMV is... haha. Last night I went to a local artist's night where the 'topic' of the evening had been set as ukeleles. One guy stood up and did a spoof of 'Tried to send me to rehab' and had everyone in stitches. I think you should learn to play this on the ukelele. :)

DMV can be a bear. Here in Michigan. More machines then people now. Hard to believe. I believe the machines do a better job. A fun poem to read.
