VIVA TRUCK, VALE TRUCK

(photo taken by Tara Shannon)

...Oh whither have the old trucks drifted?
All are remembered, but few are relifted.
Comfort and size now select the talent
And towing capacity, oh my, how valiant
Those old trucks had guts and desire
No new ones have that kind of fire
If an old truck were a person, I know it would say
“Hey you, get out, this here’s my hay.”
There is no way to get the classics to come back
Unless your memory is as sharp as a tack.

-Bret Hamilton, age 17
