The Trip To Walley World

Clark Griswold, what a dumb fool you are. Who wants to drive across the country in a car? California from Chicago is a bit too far. You were duped by a car salesman’s chicanery. That Wagon Queen Truckster is so damned ugly. Was your traveling worth it to see the scenery? The trip cost you too much of your money. This escapade was a big burden on your family. How you went to such extremes. The park’s closing got you angry, it seems. Have you ever read “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck? If you read this book, you would not have made your trek. Based on the film "National Lampoon's Vacation"
