Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Clerihew

A Ford You Could Afford

Henry Ford satisfied the masses, we may all agree,

   By concocting the venerable Ford Model "T".

      He said, "You can choose any color as long as it's black!"

         And he even tossed in a spare tire, crank and sturdy jack!

the Clerihew battle!!!!)

Robert Pettit January 17, 2012 at 4:11 PM Another excellent write Bob. In Aldous Huxley's novel "Brave New World", the inhabitants of twenty-sixth century London worship him as a messiah. Your title was a slogan used by the company.
