Chop Shop

CHOP SHOP The Villages at Carver ate Four tires and a steering wheel Their hunger pangs would not abate So they acquired plans to steal A screwdriver And a wrench too A steel hammer Golf carts unscrew The Villages at Carver hide Its many parts in a chop shop As golfers exercise their stride Wiping balled sweat until they drop On dapper lawn For evil’s spawned From dusk to dawn Behind closed doors The Villages at Carver search For splintered wood and tools of trade Amidst the oak and pine and birch The hidden door reveals a blade Village gone mad Carvers past sad Pitchforks take stand Revenge at last The Villages at Carver mass Drawing a crowd to view a home Overlooking manicured grass A course with four golf wheels and chrome 6/27/2017

This was very cool Kim. I read something the other day about a golf cart chop shop that was discovered. Was the your inspiration?
