I am an American, <br />Through and through, <br />No new cars for me, <br />I want to support the economy. <br /> <br />We spend many thousands <br />To send to Japan, Korea or some other Foreign land. <br /> <br />My money stays right here, <br />Right at the garage, <br />Where I park it all day, <br />I simply can't understand, <br />Why they don't make the parts <br />Any longer. <br /> <br />Before the War, <br />We had it right, <br />Every brought American, <br />And that was all right. <br />Now, I find that parts are being made in Japan. <br /> <br />This problem is simple, <br />It is easy to solve, <br />Why doesn't everyone boycott, <br />Buying new cars. <br /> <br />This will drive down the price, <br />And will entice the automakers <br />To bring the process back to the place <br />Where it ought to be, <br />Back from Japan, Korea, and Singapore, <br /> <br />Let's do it now, <br />Before we loose any more classics, <br />Gone are the Mercurys, Firebirds, and Capri's, <br /> <br />Where are the Lincolns of the past, <br />Pretty soon they at rest in rust, <br />The rest of the car companies please heed, <br />What ever happened to the Nash, the Kaiser and the Dart? <br /> <br />Will we learn a lesson here, <br />I doubt, <br />But I have learned a valuable one, <br /> <br />Stick with winner and don't ever sell it, <br />Transportation is more than movement for me, <br />It is part of our country!<br /><br />Nadalia Bagratuni<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-ain-t-no-stinking-lincoln/
