A ride in Morgan’s Ford


 A ride in Morgan’s Ford


Warner sent me to Ross Hardware once

In the rear there was plenty parking

Down Noble Avenue from the Memorial Hospital 

Waved to Allen Powell at the Motel pool skimming 

High School tardy bell loudly ringing

That pretty blond lady at the crossing stopping me

Past Travis' Standard busily the oil checking

Luther with Goliath at the white parsonage gardening

Near time for a french fried and mayonnaise 

sandwich from Nettie at the Chick Inn

There's Jack Bowman, wonder where he's going?

Carse Oil at forty-six a gallon and rising!

The ole Seaboard Coastline blocks my crossing

Down to two box cars no problem waiting

Time for some stiff dungarees from Lewis' I'm thinking

Those pretty daughters I hope on me waiting

Dread the haircut, hope Mr Bill Griffis

dad's chair is occupied

Oh good! the Night of the Living Dead is showing

Guess Alice I'll hope to be closely holding 

Scary movies at the Arcade are great

Then out to ghost light... what was it I came down Noble for?
