There's certainly a wide-ranging variety of different cars
From the Model T to the Tesla -- no longer wildly popular
People want choices to match their lifestyles and moods
Manufacturers want trustworthy cars that can 'deliver the goods'
Reliable rides -- solid, unspectacular engines under their hoods
Rich sports stars tend to go for muscle cars and speed
Jaguars, Porsches, Ferraris; Dodges, Pontiacs, and AMCs
Famous celebrities, of course, crave the ultimate in luxury
Rolls Royces, Mercedes, Lincoln Town Cars, and Bentleys
Nerds and computer geeks worship the ways of the Japanese
They drool over Hondas, Toyotas, Mazdas, even Mitsubishis
Which brings us to the environmentalists, willing to pay a bit more
For hybrids, electric cars, even ones that run on cooking oil and Indian lore
But I've saved the final two lines for a new car so incredibly smart
That without any driver, it appeals to cutting-edge intellectuals
~ and fearless hearts
I'm playing with golf ace Tiger Woods
It’s raining, so we pull up our hoods
Tiger misses the green -
Then shouts words so obscene
He just cannot deliver the goods!

D-eliver the goods,
A-nd do what is required;
S-imply obey and never complain,
Y-ou'll gain what you've desired.
J-ust deliver the goods,
A-nd come up to the expectation;
N-ever delay nor linger,
E-ndure till the day of salvation.
B-egin to deliver the goods,
U-ntil you touch the sky;
R-emain firm and faithful,
E-arly thirty-first of July.
R-each your greatest goal,
O-r be lost into the woods;
S-tay strong and brave, deliver the goods.
Oh the cock may crow
but hens deliver the goods...
more to life than sex.

Greetings from the RedKnuckle Storyteller,you may find he;s ann odd kind of feller.
Though he'll do his best to write from the heart,and what you don't like you may always tear
apart.You see,this storyteller has lived an awful life.A life without family,children,a beautiful
wife.Now some may say my poetry expresses my pain,others say it's a release in anger I
gain.Personally I write about a society in grief,so many hurting with no sign of relief.I am so
proud of every man,woman,child from these hoods,for when it comes to unity and strive they
truly deliver the goods.With the streets getting younger every day,what's a careing man do
but kneel down and pray.These are our children out there,so who's in charge to step up and
care..It pains me, that i'm but a single voice heard.who's only given inspiration is sometimes
a single word.Now go find a drink and a comfortable chair.For we are about to embark on a
poetry journey where others would'nt dare.
Dedicated to all the missing Women in Vancouvers lower East end.
(MAY THEY NOT BE FORGOTTEN!) PEACE AND LOVE... T.R.K S
