ode to a swapmeet queen

Ode to a Swapmeet Queen

Sexier today, at the age of 42

Than she could have been,

"Brand spankin' new"

Beautiful, and black

Sportin' iridescent flake

My 74" tin-top

A straight-leg, solid-mount shake

9 feet long....with an avon speed rib leading the way

A complete throwback,

To, "back in the day"

She's a jock-shift roller

With no front brake

Got a couple inches of stretch

With an impossible rake

Radius rod, Harley springer

Up ahead of a coffin tank

She's got a ratchet-top 4

With a kick-only crank

Stars, and spokes

Make the hoops spin

And that damn open belt

Tore my pantleg...again

A mechanical drum

Slows the ol' girl down

And Joe Hunt throws a spark

To bring her 'round

While the Skinner's Union mixer

Mounted up, and away

Flows with elixir

To quench her throat

Like a straight shot of bourbon

To sate, burn, and eventually coat

The inside, of her long, shotgun drags

As they rumble in your ears

Athena, and I

Ascend through the gears
