    " BIRTHDAY POEM "

    SING A SONG OF ACCELERATION,
    HIT THE GAS AND DON'T LOOK BACK !

    WHAT BETTER FORM OF CELEBRATION
    THAN TO GO FAST AT YOUR LOCAL TRACK !

    A SPIFFY YELLOW, FIVE WINDOW COUPE
    8 CYLINDER'S, FULL OF FIRE'S,

    AS THE LIGHT TURN'S GREEN, THE ENGINE SCREAM'S
    YOU HEAR THE SPINNING OF THOSE BIG FAT TIRE'S !

    ALL THE WAY, DOWN THE STRIP
    WITH A BIG GRIN, FROM EAR TO EAR,

    AT AGE 79, YOU FEEL JUST FINE,
    AND FACE THE FUTURE WITH OUT ANY FEAR !

    SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, FELLOW GEAR HEAD,
    YOU ARE MADE OUT OF STUFF THAT IS TUFF

    14 FLAT, AT AGE 79 ISN'T BAD,
    AND FOR NOW, THAT'S JUST FAST ENOUGH !

    BALLARD BEANS 001.jpg
    KEEP EATIN THOSE BEAN'S YOUNGSTER,
    THEY WILL GIVE YA LOT'S OF GAS !

    Most excellent! I can't think of a better way to celebrate your birthday. You are in good company as there are lots of 70+ hotrod guys still out there enjoying what they love. When I consider slowing down I just reflect on the fact that John Force is 74!
