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.
