Mustang Salad

I'll bet you Five, I'll bet you Ten,
I'll even wager Fifty,
That you can't make this "Stang" wake up,
And hit an even Sixty!
 
The boy looked round and took his eyes
 From off the road ahead
 I'll take that bet, I'll make it do
 Much more than that, he said
 
Fifty-five and Sixty came,
Then Eighty-Five flashed by
And with it passed that Mustang
Into the bye and bye.....


I'll bet you Five, I'll bet you Ten,
I'll even wager Fifty,
That these new Wings will carry us
A pace to better Sixty
 
Off they go and race like mad
They've torn the place into?
Better shift again .....boys, 
Old Satan's .. chasin.... YOU!

Judy, my apologies, but I haven't yet figured out how to send soup mail. I would appreciate it if you would delete my contest entry, "Grandfather Haiku." I am concerned that the content may be offensive to some, and I don't want that to happen. Thanks, Jack Jordan
