Red Neck Coffin


I’m planning to run my Ford into the ground
And there I’ll be buried in it safe and sound

Slowly the bed will rust off the frame
And in that hole, we will remain

Buried in an F150
Will not only be quite nifty

I’ll need no wooden basket
In my broke-down Ford casket!

LMAO! Too funny David, but I must say he may have to wait a while for that Ford to die. I've had mine for over 20 years and it has over 300,000 mi. Baby keeps going still. I am retired as of December so I may be sending her to her grave soon. Stay well...Charlie PS: If you get a chance check out my brother's poem on my site: "President Trump" Thanks

Thanks for the kind words. It's great how long a vehicle can last. Happy retirement!

Funny. I'm laughing again. I don't want to be buried in my car, though.

David, a great humoruos write. I know people are buried with cell phones, you can hear them ringing at night in cemeteries, that shows our addiction to the internet as if a coprse can answer the phone! We are a mentally unhinged society. We even think dead poets can read us? Your poem makes more sense! Pangie xx

No doubt you will be well integrated with that F 150s remains David, and in many years become re constituted, as a spacecraft if theres Iron mining going on.?
