Best Tow Truck Poems

It is the winter of 1980.
I’m twenty-eight years young, 
Driving a red Mustang with glass T-tops,
Feeling all of my awesome sassiness, from toe
To Afro, when I notice the cards driving ahead of me
Are all slowing way down. A wreck? Can’t be because nobody stops.
I’m a...

Modern Life
We are open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week
Except Monday mornings and Sunday nights.
What are they on about, at this place that I seek
That is supposed open 24/7 days a week.

The pub is open we have an unlimited license,
Let’s have a drink...

I'm searching for a new man.
			(My lemon quit on me.)
			I'm a discerning seeker.
			(The smallest dent, I'll see!)

			I want a younger fellow;
			(Low mileage is a must.)
			Required is great get-up-and-go
			(an engine with no rust).

			He should desire me in his lap.
			(Seat warmers feel so good.)
			He's gotta be in...

A black phone 
I dislike our phone a sleek monster in a corner
I never answer it when it rings unless my wife is out
My mobile phone is in the pocket in my jacket in the hall
Where I can`t hear it when it rings, it is...

The young lady's car slowed to a stop ...

As she pulled as far off the highway, (onto the shoulder), as she could
(Allowing for any snow plow that might come along).
She had chosen poorly this time
Believing she had enough gas to get to the next fuel...

Dear Father Holy Spirit and Son

You turned what could have been a tragedy into a special day of fun
You got me off the interstate before my tire came off
And turned things into a miracle instead of being rough
First you sent 3 angels to protect me...

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING  
BUT YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN  
WE DON'T LIKE SPEEDERS 
FLYING THROUGH TOWN  

SPEED LIMIT HERE 
IS THIRTY-FIVE 
OFFICER PETE 
HAS AN EAGLE EYE  

YA  AUGHT TO SLOW DOWN 
TAKE IN THE VIEW

I was following a speeding ambulance down the street the other day,

When it took a sharp corner and the back door flew open all the way!

A large Styrofoam box fell out and I screeched to a halt to peer inside.

What I found was so loathsome...

Mom’s old Chrysler is the scourge of my life
driving it, this sedan makes me complain 
forty meters on a ride, the wheels pop--
by that time, I miss the green light... again!

So I'm squatting like a fool on a byway
with prayers, the tow truck gets here...

There are those moments that stay with us forever
stuck in time, we will forget them never

The night I picked up the phone, it was late
how could this be his fate?

I drove and on my way I got a flat tire
this seemed a cruel and divinely...

Once upon a happening
there was a family of four
all had different ideas
on spending vacation and more.

Dad thought it best
if they camped in the woods
to go hiking in the mountains
on a trail where they could.

Mom wanted relaxation
and to stay at a resort
go golfing on the green
and...

I vibrate on a higher frequency, I try to hold myself to a higher decency, sometimes it's hard not to go into creep mode, but I try my best and stick to the G code

I ask myself what would I want my son to do...

Conversing with a stranger
Is a New York City norm,
To comment on a situation
Or to just inform.

My chat with stranger #1
Took place as we observed
A tow truck hooking up a car
Which likely it deserved…

For it was parked illegally.
My stranger friend and I
Agreed that we would hate...

Salami for a Horse. 
Driving home from the man whose profession 
is to study people´s entrails, rice pudding he
had said and no booze- and for this banality 
he charged me 80 euros; the car stopped and
I opened the back door- of the car- and let...

Refrain:
We three mates can raise three cheers.
Here we are together raising our glasses of beers.
Any sins or troubles, let the beers wash them away.
We can be sober tomorrow.  Let’s get loaded today.

As long as we are functioning alive,
we have to punch the time clock...
