Hear the Three-eighty Rev

©May 8th 2020, Olan L. Smith


Slice him thin, fillet his flesh, Dave,

His heart is low

Within this cocoon you rave.

"Let his blood flow!


Onto the floorboard, deep enough

To wet his sock-tops,

Who cares the speed-limit's rough

Where there's no cops!


Trounce the petal to the floor

Hear the three-eighty rev

He's come for the final race

So put him on the line, Trev.


Drop the flag, let the rubber burn,

It's his turn to race, to ply, to die, to cry―

Girl stand aside for the old man

Babe, he's back on the track for another try.


Alas, we all dream dreams, but none real―

That's the deal, Mack―

You stand your ground till you deal,

You can't feel what never was, Jack."
