Amish Truckers Association

This part happened, this first part is true
But the story stretched and the exaggerations too
A trucker arrived to offload what he had to deliver
A hat and coat, avoiding a morning shiver
I was wondering about his means of transportation
I looked at the trucker and automatically knew without a mustache, he was part of the Amish 
Truckers Association
I knew there had to be a wagon and horse involved
Sticker on the side reading Barn needed,  a barn raising every Sunday, problem solved
Oats bag over the horse's mouth, wagon parking brake locked in place
Not an eighteen wheeler, so doesn't take up a lot of space
His name was Eli 
Do you believe me, why would I lie?
Pensalvania was his final destination
It all leads to him being a member of the Amish Truckers Association

LOL -- very witty observations on the Amish culture, Eugene. I often wish we could all go back to the days of the horse and buggy. Very entertaining! Best Wishes, Carolyn
