Cartoon Character- from hanna & Hanna Barbera Cartoons
Choosing one cartoon character is oh so wrong,There must be 1000 or even more.
My brain is going through a list that is long,
This cartoon celebrity must not be a bore.
There's heroes and villains and ones that are ones not so,
There's ones that are funny and and some that did not last.
There are some that I probably don't even know.
But here is the one that I selected from out of the past.
I love this animation of a man; he is so tried and true
The antics, the stunts, he does things to mess up as only he can,
He's from the stone ages, but acts like me and you.
He continues to learn the lessons that are always how to be a man,
Being forever a father, a husband and a best friend,
He falters, and forgets, as he tries to be the big shot,
He makes so many misjudgements, but is happy in the end.
He always listens and really knows what he's already got.
Now wouldn't life be better if we lived in Bedrock,
If you haven't guessed from that big clue
A cartoon whose a man and he doesn't even own a sock.
I'm not talking Barney and Mr. Rubble won't do.
The cartoon character who has lasted for a few generations,
He worked in the quarry and was always in a some sort of bind.
His message was simple across the nations,
Be who you are and try always be kind,
Keep your friends close and listen to your wife,
Trying to be more than you were meant to be
Means learning the lessons over and over for life.
So listen to the cartoon man from the 'modern stone age family'.
Yes, you should all know and I hear a slight moan,
That the character I speak of is FRED FLINSTONE.
His wife is Wilma, a quite a good looking gal,
His little girl is cute and wears her hair in a bone.
His best freind is Barney, a buddy and real pal.
Let's not forget Betty as she plays a big part.
Best friend to Wilma and Barney is her only beau
She's the one with the forgiving heart.
All too often she delivers the morale of the show.
But it really is FRED who causes such a scene
It takes a few others (i.e. Mr. Slate) to help FRED with his day
I sure you have watched him and must know what I mean,
He always confuses what is good or bad or work or play.
From episode to episode he makes simple things hard,
He trades in his friends and he sqwatters his money
He closes open doors and from the Water Buffalos is barred,
The more he tries to turn his vinegar to honey,
The deeper he digs and there seems no way out,
But he never seems to see what everyone else sees,
He keeps on trying and continues to flounder about,
Until Betty or Wilma says "O FRED please!"
And then only then he stops and so that he is able to hear,
He listens look enough, trying to keep his manly pride,
He quietly will look a little sheepish as he says " Yes, Dear."
And then he learns his lesson and walks his manly stride.
For he always takes the credit of fixing up his messes,
And his friends may snicker has he just does what he's told.
But heaven knows he needs to learn from all his lessons,
I bet you think this is long, boring and old,
But I am glad you made it to the end.
Wouldn't life be nicer if we had family and friends like FRED?
The morale of the story is plain as the nose on your face,
A man and his family and friends from a cartoon place,
Teaching us lessons and simple they may be,
The real lesson that FRED has learned and all he's been through,
It's not the mess you find yourself in,do, but let your freinds save you
All you need do is listen, when you tired of digging your hole so deep,
Remember the wisdom of the family and friends that you keep,
For they can see you,and what you do, they hear what you just said,
Remember the Cartoon and the Character named FRED.
FRED can never see or hear himself as clearly as friends and family,
Just like us as we can never see or what others see or hear so clearly.
So learn from lessons from the cartoon character, named FRED
You don't have time to make all the mistakes, it is so SAID!
