Esurance "Poems of the Road" Contest..

Post by heyybaker » Thu Apr 19, 2012 9:06 pm

YES, I'm here to bother you to vote for me. I could win $2,000 doing the only thing I do decently well.. writing. The contest has you write a poem about experiences on the road. There are no intentional Ford references.. I'm not a Mustang fan at all actually :lol:. But ANYWHO, if you have a Facebook and are able to vote, I would be ever to grateful. That is, if you actually like my poem. And feel free to share it too ;) votes can't hurt. Oh, I should also mention, every bit of that $ would be going into Hyperion (err, my R/T :lol:)

For those who don't have a Facebook to vote, but simply enjoy poetry, I'll post the poem here for.. er.. enjoyment (assuming the poem doesn't suck).

"Road-eo"

Around the reign my fingers hold,
And on the road I see the gold,
Of dotted lines which fence me in,
And so I let all four wheels spin.
There is no ride like down the lane,
To watch the neighbors peek and crane,
Their necks to see the stallion pass,
With rider leading proud the chasse.
And if I gallop far from home,
It’s only to some town I roam,
To show my skills to those I see,
Before its time to turn the key.
There’s nothing like the concrete road,
From car and driver, here’s our ode.

Yeah, cars are not the best to put money into but it's so much fun.

My friends always gave me crap for putting money into my old neon, but I enjoyed it and that's what mattered. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing.

I have some cash stored away just waiting to get spent.. Been searching car forums/craigslist/ebay/dealerships to see what I could drop the money on LOL
