Build It Up

Poem Thumbnail


Gasoline fumes hang heavy in the air
  as the cars are prepped and cut up with care.
It’s all-hands-on-deck, every tool at disposal,
  time to breathe life into this monstrous proposal.

The super stock class takes things to extreme,
  exhaust pipes up front allow engines to scream—
  modifications made to the point of mutilation
  in order to render complete and utter devastation.

Swap the motor, gut the interior, install a new tranny box.
Six-ply tires, chopped exterior, a differential that locks.
Chain the doors, ditch the grill, remove all accessories.
Smash the glass and steering column, no need for keys!

Fresh lacquers and roof signage extend the hype.
Real people involved, every shape, size, and type.
It’s a labor of love that takes true dedication,
  along with a healthy dose of self-rationalization.
