SUV

Paul McIntosh 2005

I saw you in my tractor  mirror comin way way back

chrome was shiny in my eyes and you was gleamin  black on black

I thought at first a Thunder bird  or a brand new fancy Lexus

but soon I knew Ooh Ford Excess or  GM Dallas Texas

The sticker there said 4x4 a big and shiny statement

but you would only drive on level a1 flat black pavement

You see I thought  that you'd just move off and take a bit of shoulder

Cuz Strange but on the TV those things climb right over boulders

in your Suburban Underutilized vehicle

you nearly put my great big John Deere tractor in a pickle

Your Gucci shades were mirrors but I could see you stare

And your chubby middle finger was  a stickin in the air

Ten miles up the road, my favorite service station

I was thinking coke and snacks but  imagine my elation

there it was your big black truck takin up 3 stalls

I pulled in real careful like and slowed down to a crawl

Just then a big old bumble bee  crawled out of some dirt

woke up with a start and took up buzzin in my shirt

just how it could have happened was a mystery to me

with a bump thud my big green John Deere squished your SUV

Your Suburban Under-utilized Vehicle

Rolled out flat beneath me and I hardly felt a wiggle

Your soup was drippin down your chin as you stared out at me

with a bump thud my big green John Deere squished your SUV

with a bump and a thud my great big green john deere squished you SUV
