A Bus by Someone-other-than-Joyce-Kilmer I thought that I would never see A bigger fool than I could be, Someone whose tastes are sim'lar strange In transportation speed and range. Who, like me, instead of speed, Choose cargo volume as a need; More room to sleep, perchance to dream, With all within, beside a stream. And like the Tortoise, not the Hare, We won't be hurried getting there; But when arrived somewhere, we think, Have kit, caboodle, and kitchen sink. Who, like me, instead of miles, Would rather count the grins and smiles That come from driving day to day Four wheels beneath a cargo bay. And sit up high above the street, To wave at every bus we meet, As down the highway and the lanes We truck along with sweet refrains. I thought that I would never see A bigger fool than I could be, But lots of folks make quite a fuss That only Volkswagen makes a bus. :) ---------------------------------------------- I think that I shall never see An auto that appeals to me, In shape or form, for beast or man, As much as a Volkswagen Van. It goes Where None Have Gone Before And does it with just speeds of four; It goes, and with you takes it all For creature comforts, big and small; It carries on, and ne'er complains In Winter's snow or Springtime's rains, Or Summer's heat, or Autumn's breeze, Although at times, your butt will freeze; It lasts the ages, passing down From Old to Young, who've newly found The sheer delight and sect's appeal Of driving in a box on wheels. |
