“Oh, Poor Old Truck”

~

Poor old truck, you met your match.

My head gets greasier every time I scratch.

You’re so old I repaired you each time

Now, it’s finally time for your bells to chime.

~

I’m not sure if there’s a truck heaven for you

My heart aches, and I’m crying, boo-hoo.

I can’t fix your floor or even the door;

You’re too old; repair parts are no more.

~

My only choice is to send you away, my friend;

Hoping truck heaven will be better for you in the end.

You’ve been a good truck; I’ll miss you, old pal.

Maybe in truck heaven, you’ll find a nice gal.

~

The tow truck is coming tomorrow to pick you up;

I’ll wave goodbye with coffee in my cup.

So long, my friend; get a good night’s rest.

I love you, poor old truck; you are the best!
