Backseat Driver
Oh my gosh,
HE DRIVES ME CRAZY!
I'm up, he's down.
I need his help,
he's out of town.
Schedules rarely jive
but when they do,
he makes medrive.
Then he back seat drives.
I mean, WHAT IS THAT?
Crazy?! (right?!)
He is a worse driver than me.
But his backseat driving
has helped me a lot.
His directions have helped me
through some tight spots.

For my dad

Thanks

I think it reads fine.
It's kind of quirky and is short enough to stick in a speech.
i don't see anything that sticks out as wrong in it.
reckon it should go down well.
unless it's part of a eulogy, dunno if it's the right sort of write for that :)
