Analysis of Trading IN
Ron Marcus 1957 (Baltimore)
Can't I trade my ol' broken down, decrepit
life?
in for a New, and improved model
that runs smoother,
acclerates faster
Can't I trade my p;' bnroken down, decrepit Life?
in for a New, and improved model?
that has far better stopping power
and can go from
discouraged, to self-
motivated/
in signifigantly less
than 3.5 seconds
has a good torque, and turning ratio
and most importantly, will not grind its wheels/
Can't I trade my ol' broken down decrepit life?
in for a New, and improved model?
Or at the very least,
zoom past a stop sign
as just a temporarty
holding pattern
who can visualize the
baited expansiveness
of the Open Highway
