Big Red Wagon
Driving a muscled truck, once dreamed of as a boy:
half-ton, short-bed pick-up,
the "big red wagon" toy.
The powerful engine hauling what's on the books:
side-step with flare fenders,
a beauty... and she cooks.
Sitting high and mighty, looking past every car:
ruling over traffic
like emperor or czar.
No other vehicle can take so much command:
for versatility
the truck is in demand.
More than a mere work-horse, play and tasks side-by-side,
a constant companion
giving an owner pride.
