What Is Your Issue?
Anonymous
Is this poem in the right place?
Hum V ( an ode to 4-wheel drives )
You need one of these things just to go for a piss around here -
there's always some sniper sighting you up.
It looks pretty big but the interior space isn't great -
it's all ground-clearance, wheel-arches and armor-plate.
But it's the vehicle to have if you're driving through Hell.
Oh yeah - and the military use them as well.
I like driving this car - it says something about me.
Goddammit it says something about America.
We’ve shown the rest of the world what it means to be free
(whether they liked it or not – and don’t forget it!)
So what if it only does 4 m-p-g?
We’ve got plenty of oil –
Or we can get it.
If you’re in a tight spot this baby will get you out of it
(it’s fourteen feet wide so most spots are tight when you’re in it.)
But don’t you just love it when something does exactly what it’s supposed to?
Global warming’s gonna cause a big war, somewhere, sooner or later -
and with cars like these we’re gonna be ready for it!
Hey - you don’t like what I drive? Well screw you!
And Kyoto, too!
