Highway
23
The
car is my transport; I shall not walk.
It taketh me to shop in the strip malls:
It leadeth me to find the low prices.
It restoreth my youth:
It leadeth me down the ramps to new highways and
interstates.
Yea, though I drive a commute filled with road
rage,
I will fear no evil: for thou art SUV;
thy heighth and thy breadth they comfort me.
Thou commandeth a budget precluding plans for
the presence of bicycles:
I replenish thy tank with oil; thy pump runneth
over.
Surely Exxon and BP shall supply us all the days
of our lives:
and I shall dwell in the refuge of my car
forever.
