Nascar Wild Man Willy

The speedometer busted sixty, motor screaming r r r s,
Smoked his firestones weavin’ and passin’ cars!

He slammed third dumped the clutch and headed north, 
At a hundred five, he hit the highway and found fourth…

The smell of burning rubber filled the cab,
He pressed pedal to the metal for all she had!

Turbo screamed, the engine roared!
G,s pressed him to the back seat board,

He couldn't go on,
His strength was gone!

His muscles stretched and ached,
How much more could he take!?

His only fan totally enthralled
Gears grinding,..engine stalled

He couldn't help it...his eyelids dropped like lead!
Dad hugged him out of his Big Wheels and said,
 ”Wild Man Willy, my son..it’s time for bed. “…

Oh! I love it...isn't great to get so caught up in the joy of imagination until even the excitement calls us to return to the One in sleep in the arms of our Father. There may be something in your soup mail if my own call to sleep will permit just a few more moments here in my secret garden.
