Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Clerihew

A Ford You Could Afford

Henry Ford mass-produced the Model 'T' Ford,

A contraption the unwashed masses could afford!

'Twas the latest and greatest to include a crank and jack,

And he offered a choice of colors as long as it was black!

Ilene Bauer September 19, 2021 at 12:32 PM Ha! Well done, Bob! I’m always surprised to see black cars on the road these days - I guess some people prefer the original to all the choices out there… Robert L. Hinshaw September 19, 2021 at 4:33 PM Thank you, Ilene. Black cars remind me too much like a hearse! Have a grand week ahead - Bob H

Lindsay Laurie September 18, 2021 at 4:36 PM Hello Bob ... at least these old vehicles could handle a slight bump and they didn't turn into rust buckets after two years. Black was certainly in vogue back in those days - thanks again Bob - Lindsay Robert L. Hinshaw September 18, 2021 at 5:20 PM Thank you, Lindsay! You are so right and now you can't get a decent vehicle for less than 30000 bucks and you almost have to have an engineering degree to operate one of the heaps with all the fancy gadgets on them nowadays! Take good care, Mate - Bob H
