A Love Story!

By Walt Perryman

Can anyone relate to my morning thought?
Maybe it depends on the truck you bought!

Somehow, I can’t believe how life can suck,
How many of you men loved your old truck?

As you bicker about the price of a new one,
Next you become sad after the deal is done.

Your memories of your old truck and you,
And about all that you‘all have been through.

Your feeling for your old truck is hard to believe.
When you have a tear in your eye as you leave!

Then as you’re driving your new truck off the lot,
You discover it’s a computer that you’ve bought!

Later, you’re driving your new truck crying tears,
As you’re reading the book on how to shift gears.

We all miss our old truck, and I know this to be true,
We wonder if our old truck’s new owner loves it too.
