Airbag, Crash!

In an empty car lot, Airbag, CRASH! We miss the hounding We miss the hail damage sales We miss the drag-it-in trades Empty lots Airbag, Crash!!! When we gettin’ the bail out Closing overseas Closing 35% Dusty, empty lots Airbag, CRASH!!! Dropping lesser brands Higher fuel standards When we getting’ the bail out Empty, empty lots Airbag, CRASH!!! Commissioned to feed families Commissioned to fail Commissioned to beg Commissioned to relocate Commissioned to set up tents Next to other tents Can’t afford an Airbag, CRASH!!!

We certainly could use an "airbag" to cushion the job from this recession. Guess it's time for all of us to bail out. Sad to see tent cities springing up again. American families deserve better. Great poem! Love, Carolyn
