Ode to an 85 Nissan Pegasus

Ode to an 85 Nissan Pegasus

To be read aloud

  

Brand spankin’ new, shining gold in the sun

She became my work horse for business and for fun

Down to the riverbed, digging sand for yard

Count to 21, she was always working hard

We rolled down the windows when it got very hot

Chris learned to drive in the church parking lot

Kids to school and church and play

All in front, “shut up when I say”

Always faithful, always there

Through changes and moves and years of wear

Clinks and sputters, stop and wouldn’t go

Chris inherited, didn’t have to tow

Utility trailer added, service for nine  years

When it was stolen, lots of prayers and tears

Finally came home, had been treated not well

Put back together, Chris wouldn’t sell

Three T’s learned to drive, spread their wings to fly away

Didn’t go too far, all here for this day

Golden truck we love you, please no more tears

We want you to stay around for another thirty years.
