from the old days of aircooled buses and weak heaters ...

For Those Who Take Trips in the Winter by Robert W. Service-Advisor

Strange tales are told, 'bout the Winter's cold, In Volkswagen buses so true, When the wind's fierce howl drowns the tranny's growl And there ain't enough heat for you. When that very same wind is trying to bend The steering wheel out of your hand And your muscles all ache when you step on the brake To slow the Velocity Van. With the numbness that spread from your butt to your head 'Cause the feelings gone out of your toes, And you're wondering where, in that junk pile back there, Are those warmer and woolier clothes.

For the three hundredth time, you receite the rhyme And the reason that caused you to go On this journey through land made dead, white, and bland By the hands of Ol' Winter and Snow. But you arrive there on time, in the arctic-like clime, And relate to them all of the pain Of the bone-chilling cold, and the driver so bold To have beaten Ol' Winter again. Through the window you stare at the bus parked out there, Covered now all over with snow; And next time, for sure, you swear now to cure Those heater boxes down there below!
