RANDY REVERSE

My name is Randy Reverse,

I’m a backwards kind of guy.

I only go in one direction,

As my name might imply.

Backwards is the way to go.

It’s the only way to walk.

I can tell you what time it was,

I use a backwards clock.

I’ll go for a backwards run.

I’ll take a backwards spin.

And when I’m out backing around,

I‘ll wear a backwards grin.

I bought myself a new car,

A shiny black Backmobile.

It only goes in reverse,

Which is really quite a thrill.

It takes aptitude and agility,

To go everywhere backing up.

I once entered a backwards race,

And won the Backwards Cup.

People will point and stare at me,

When I’m driving down their street.

I’ll beep my backwards horn,

And wave at everybody I meet.

I like going backwards.

It’s been my only goal.

My name is Randy Reverse,

It’s just the way I roll.
