Not good at poetry, but here is something you might want to expand you thoughts. . . . . . . 'Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the light, Was a domestic V8 and no cops in sight, I will try, I will try, I will try with this small motor, To beat this darn F-Body, even with its big blower, As the light goes green and I pull like no joke, The F-Body erupts in clouds of tire smoke, Now Smasher, now Rev-ver, now Stroker, now Blitzin, These are the names of my four VTEC pistons, (LMAO) Racing ahead I'm the star of the action, But I know I'm in trouble when that V8 gets traction, Grabbing second, I hear the RPM sing, My mirror is blocked by my shopping cart wing, I now hear the roar, of that big monster gaining, All I can do is keep that four banger straining, In a second, the shockwave hits with a blast, And my stickers go flying now, a thing of the past, Don't bother with third, cause now its too late, Just try to act cool, like you can relate, Looking up at the taillights as they get smaller, The driver backs off just to give me a holler, "You can't win them all," he says in a fling, "You may not win any, in that silly thing I smiled and revved as he pulled out of sight, With my new mods tomorrow..... it will be a better night

I was stopped at a light in my 426, 8 barrel carb and cheater slix.... I looked in the mirror and up from behind came a big black Chevy, a 409....I waited a second till the light turned green, he rolled up beside me lookin' kinda mean.... I rolled down my window and looked to my side, then I yelled real loud "do you wanna drag"... he said "hey man, lets go one time, nothin can touch my 409" I was still burnin rubber when I hit 2nd gear and the roar of the HEMI was all I could hear.... so I shifted to third, then I shot into high and I knew that Chevy would never come by.... then the chief came in on the clearwave set, he said "cool it guys, you ain't off duty yet" I said to the Chief "don't you call me no more, when you call, call for Super Stock Car 54"

I remember this prayer from when I was a kid. Now I lay me down to sleep my hot rod parked across the street if it should roll before I wake O please Lord put on the brake. For some reason I never forgot that. Barry

Golf, I think that I shall never see a hazard tougher than a tree. A tree that stands the green to guard and makes my chip shots extremely hard.Golf was made for fools like me but only God could make a tree. I am missing about 90 % of it in the middle.
