I would just like to cut down our expenses for awhile. Y'know, until I feel the absolute need for another totally illogical machine in my life. <br /><br />I told one of my cousins today that I got rid of my truck and she said, finally died eh? Well, no it didn't, that was the problem! It's parked under a tree at the farm, looking sad and pathetic with no plates on it, waiting to go to the scrapyard. <br /><br />Paul thanks for the ode!

Maybe not get you home so much...

I have taken you where...<b>Lament for a valiant steed</b><br /><br />I have taken you wherever you wanted to go<br />Whether my tank was topped off or low<br />I started every time you turned the key<br />I never asked you to let me be<br />Faithfully every day I carried on<br />Through driving snow, ice or slush<br />I carried you to shop, your kids to school<br />To church, to doctors, never feared a tool<br />I never complained, I never said a word<br />Stood patiently outside waiting by the curb<br />carried on as if I were still young<br />as if driving as before were still fun<br />but underneath my skin the rust grew<br />and year by year less power flew<br />I lost my glow, my verve<br />But I could still make the curve<br />Sure I grew old, doesn’t everything?<br />It came time that I wasn’t worth to fix<br />What comes next? My wheels won’t turn<br />I don’t have the energy and everything rattles<br />Where are my plates, my identity?<br />I still remember good times and laughter<br />Now I just want to sleep <br />let someone else weep<br />Will you replace me with something newer?<br />Do all wrecks go to heaven?<br />Adieu… Hail farewell<br /><br /><br /><br />Paul Teehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17649547928178162423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-55857912224392766552015-12-15T12:30:37.940-08:002015-12-15T12:30:37.940-08:00I'm sorry about your truck.
