Corvette is King
Ok, I can't sleep so I'm killing time. This is my first pass so I hope it is not too bad.
The lines are slick
The body sits low
Oh how I know this car it will go
The tires are wide
The engine she rumbles
They hear me coming and she never stumbles
They challenge me again and pull to the line
The light it turns green
Their ricers they whine
His little car leads
But I pay no mind
The power is coming not far behind
He kicks in the NOS
I see the car jolt
But I’m still here and it’s my time to bolt
My tires they bite
The front comes up High
Now my Red Vette is ready to fly
They hear me coming
They feel the rumble
I know my V8 will never stumble
They know I am here
They know it is due
But that three story wing is blocking the view.
As I blow by with my V8 my defender
I’m sucking the decals right off of his fender
The race it is over
The race it is done
The ricer does a fly by
as if to say “he almost won”.
So keep all your NOS, your lights and your wings
Your stickers your trick tires your engine that sings
And run around with that fat pipe I hear
Mimicking a V8 it will never come near.
If you want a street rod that sings all the right songs
Come back to your roots you cannot go wrong
A V8 is where you need to be
The Corvette is King, and will always be.
:cool: :steering:
OK OK. I'll keep my day job...

Gotta get the fly by in there, hows this,
The race it is over
The race it is done
The ricer will do a fly by
as if to say,"he almost won". :D

Re: Corvette is King (C4Me)
Hey great poem, it's so true!
I saved this one from a long time ago, from a different forum that was talking about Corvettes, I think it might have been FBody.com. If anyone knows who the author is, please tell me so I can give you credit!
It is to the theme of "Twas a Night Before Christmas"
'Twas a night downtown and caught at the light,
was a domestic V8 and no cops in sight,
I will try, I will try, I will try with this small motor,
To beat this damn C4, even with it's big blower,
As the light goes green and I pull like no joke,
The C4 erupts in clouds of tire smoke
Now Smasher, now Rev-ver, now Stroker, now Blitzin,
These are the names of my four VTEC pistons,
Racing ahead I'm the Star of the action,
But I know I'm in trouble when that V8 gets traction,
Grabbing second, I hear the RPM sing,
My mirror is blocked by my Shopping Kart Wing,
I now hear the roar, of that big monster gaining,
All I can do is keep that four-banger straining,
In a second, the shockwave hits with a blast,
And my stickers go flying now, a thing of the past,
Don't bother with third, cause now it's too late,
Just try to act cool, like you can relate,
Looking up at the taillights as they get smaller,
The driver backs off just to give me a holler,
"You can't win them all," he says in fling,
"You may not win any in that silly thing"
I smiled and revved as he pulled out of sight,
With my new mods tomorrow...it will be a better night.
It's so good to own a Corvette!
