The Corona Lights - they blind my eyes

While the bassman played his gong
or was it his dong!.!.!.well anyway

We packed the bud tightly in the bong,
Mustang Sally at full volume on the radio!.

We would drive by truckers and smile,
the road like a lion, raging in the distance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sleek Pinto, mane flowing in the breeze
Delivers harsh blow, as Mustang falls behind!.

I had just driven my Saab
To Heineken to find Budweiser Suds University

Guns and Roses!.!.!.

Like Cowboys or Giants do!.!.!.

I catch kokanee fish at night
Under a super nova
Two Eagles survey my catch
I throw them each a fish
As cowboys roam the rangeWww@QuestionHome@Com

It most certainly is, except that I'm not going to do it, because I can't! But I think it would be a good idea to find sponsors for poetry!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Cool! Gotta try this one!. Gimme an hour or so!.!.!.

One day I'lll soar up through the sky,
With the Eagles I will fly,
I long for summer heat sublime
To visit Goose Island Summertime,
Then in my Lincoln I will drive
With a friend ensconced at my side!.
Now winter ice and snow bring pain
And I must go by Jefferson Airplane!.
