Little GTO, you're really lookin' fine <br />Three deuces and a four-speed and a 389 <br />Listen to her tachin' up now, listen to her why-ee-eye-ine <br />C'mon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out GTO <br /> <br />Muscle cars were born forty odd years ago, <br />Back then, <br />The war was in Vietnam, Star Trek was on, Rowan and Martin Laugh- In, <br />Johnson was President, <br />No computers, <br /> no cell phones, no catalytic converters, <br />Race riots were festering---- <br />How things have changed. <br />We are war in Afghanistan and soon to be Pakistan, <br />Star Trek continues in the movies, <br />The Comedy Channel essentially replaced comedy slap stick shows on major networks, <br />Obama is President. <br />I am using a computer right now; cell phones are much more than phones, <br />They have become Capt. Kirk’s communicator, a James Bond device, <br />A lot more than Dick Tracy’s wristwatch phones; all wrapped up in one. <br />Hybrid cars and non-fossil fuels, <br />Alternative energy sources are being developed, <br />Race riots are no more today, <br />DeLorean’s dream car went out like his auto moniker, <br />By the end of next week, General Motors will be abandon Pontiac, <br />What will the Bandit use in a remake? A Prius? <br />So what would the Ottawa Chief have to say about his forsaken moniker, <br />Ford’s Detroit Lions left Pontiac. Now too, GM is going to kick out Pontiac. <br />After all the ditching, will there be a Pontiac, Michigan, yet? <br />What will become of Wide Track Avenue? <br />Revert back to Woodward Ave.? <br />My first car was a used 1969 Pontiac Lemans that purchased in 1972 from Woody, <br />Thank God Woody is not alive now to see his dealership razed, <br />Could be Hillcrest’ next turn? <br />It has already occurred. <br />I found out about it on the internet.<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pontiac-g-oing-t-o-be-o-ut/
