Best Ford Poems

St Anthony's orphanage was founded some thirty years ago
For homeless and orphaned children, by a priest Father Angelo
Every child was made welcome; race and religion mattered not
And every Christmas Father Angelo ensured presents they all got.

Throughout the year many fundraisers were held inside and out

MY OLD FORD


I once had a '50 Ford
I bought it just because I was bored
It had been setting in a farmer's field
Where it had stopped and wouldn't yield

I hooked it behind Pa's old pickup truck
And out across the field I struck
Headed for the shade-tree mechanic's...

In my travels around....
from town to town...
I found sitting next to a tree...

a red truck for sale...
that looked like _ell!
a ford, nineteen fifty-three...

So I knocked on the door...
and wasn't for sure...
if they'd sell it to me...

When they answered the door...
they wanted more...
but I gave them...

A New Ford

The lad had wished for a new Ford.
He found one he really adored.
But trouble arose, 
With the one he chose,
He found that he could not afford....

There once was a friend who came to play 
drove along the motorway 
got up in the night 
feeling alright 
drove off in a Ford Cabriolet!

A witty puppeteer of still creations
Wooden images of live emotions
Rubber, plastics, foam and paper
Strings, thread, metals and caper
A wonder boy of imagery
Son of inspiring father of vividry
Hands of a mathematician in action
Engineering of imagination in presentation
Emmy winner of citation
Man, full of life and nature's configuration...

My first car was a thirty-seven Ford

   It would do all of forty-five when floored

      The horn played Little Bo Peep

         Had straight pipes on the old heap

'Tis a challenge fer the uninitiated to drive a Model 'T' Ford!
There sure ain't no starter, automatic transmission or GPS aboard!
To start it, you must select the magneto settin' and adjust the choke,
Then, at yer peril, spin the crank and pray that yer arm don't...

Born May of '75 in Adelaide, South Australia
given the sweet name Denise, life had thrown hard at her from birth
always giving it everything, smiled at the cracks so it brings the laughter 
But, as life struggled with her throughout her childhood 
she would become a...

It is well enough that people of the nation, 
do not understand our banking,
and monetary system, 
for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution, 
before tomorrow morning.

who didn't even know it....

Henry Ford satisfied the masses, we may all agree,

   By concocting the venerable Ford Model "T".

      He said, "You can choose any color as long as it's black!"

         And he...

My first car was a Maverick ... like me !

   With a fresh paint job, beautiful to see.

        I passed my driver's test,

            So full...

There was a man named Rob Ford,
He ran Etobicoke Ward.
Now that he’s mayor,
He still can’t play fair,
Waging a political war.

Our whole fortune’s fee cannot pay,
For those pills you’ve put away.
Weight loss is a scam,
Your scale’s in a jam.
Just leave your office, okay?

Buses rarely have delays,
Just...

Synonymous with my childhood
A metaphor for adventure;
If anyone could do it he could ,
His spirit never fractured; 

He could beguile 
with a whip or a blaster;
Or even with his smile,
Every tool mastered;

A Silver Screen Titan
Filled with sarcastic discord;
Each character an icon, 
the unstoppable Harrison Ford....

Meet Rob Ford.
A panda in this land.
The Mayor of Toronto.
A hero they have banned.

A servant of Toronto
and maybe the whole world.
A will as strong as iron.
A faith that has been furled.

A man who loves his country.
Who worked for greater good.
A Saint who smoked a crack...
