A Poem...by Hines

As a kid from the Ozarks wandering around Los Angeles, I see a lot of interesting things. However, sometimes it's the most simple things that bring me joy.

I walked down the street,

and what should appear...

A classic Ford Ranchero,

with a truck bed in its rear.

On the hood, what I found,

A bonus haiku…

Oh Ford Ranchero,

With red cup upon your hood,

Where is the party?
