Poem

Daddy in His Pickup
A farmer just doing his work tells
His theory from where he sits,
"Forty miles an hour is fast enough 
for anybody, isn’t it?"
Driving from home from being downtown
Windows down; pure air; feeling fit—
Waving at farm friends or passersby
The whole neighborhood was close knit
One can hardly deny his statement
About driving fast needs to quit
"Forty miles an hour is fast enough 
for anybody, isn’t it?"
He traveled as safe as he could be
In red pickup truck; maybe unfit—
Proudly smiling with contentment
As parade of cars did permit
Traffic close at rear; driveway appeared,
Arm out straight, foot on brake, turn left; 
" Forty miles an hour is fast enough 
for anybody, isn’t it?"
    -Evelyn Pearl Anderson
Our father, Orville Jones Carpenter, (1909 -1975) loved the red pickup truck so he would probably laugh at this little rhyme for Father's Day 2021.
