The Ugliest Dog and Truck Competition

A tale I'll tell in happy rhyme Of Old town geezer, Uncle Buck, His ugly mutt, well past its prime, And of his ugly, rusty truck. The people of the town, in jest, And seeking winter blues to ban, Devised a bold and fun contest - A uniquely entertaining plan. 'Whosoever claims he owns The most unsightly dog and truck Will have the right to claim the throne' A worthy prize, thought Uncle Buck. A fair was held in early spring On downtown lake of frozen ice Where men from near and far did bring Their trucks and canids to the site. A parade ensued of vision foul Each sight more awful to behold. But when they saw Old Buck's they howled 'That is the ugliest one all told! ' And so, the challenge it was won - Of all contestants, Uncle Buck Would prove he could not be outdone He owned the ugliest dog and truck. July 13, 2015
