My Truck Is So Old

My truck is so old…

     When I buy gas, I get a free Flintstone glass.

     So old that mold has my truck growing on it.

     So old that when I bought it used I found Betty White`s prom dress under 
     the seat.  

     So old pot holes cover up when they see me coming.

     So old, all it`s parts have "if found," return address labels.

     So old my seatbelt is my Mother`s right arm.

     So old Moon river`s the only song on the radio.

     So old it has a Nixon/Agnew  bumper sticker.

     My truck is so old that when I go in for an inspection, I have to come back 
     the next day... After they`ve stopped laughing.

My truck is so old, that mold has my truck growing on it. The entire poem is whimsically fun, but the line above is PRICELESS!

Love it! I'm old enough to understand all the things your truck is.
