Automotive Irony: With apologies to Dr. Seuss
By Porridgehead
Did I mention lots and lots of apologies to Dr. Suess? Good.
Now, the Lambo-Door cars,
Had doors flung up
high
While the Normal-Door cars
Had door flung out wide
Lambo doors
weren't so great. There were more of a pain.
You might think such a thing
would be held in disdain.
But, because they raised high, all the
Lambo-Door cars
Would boast, "We're the best kind of car near or
far!"
With their doors in the air, they would huff and they'd puff,
"We
will not hang out with that Normal-Door Stuff"
When the Lambo-Door cars
had frankfurter roasts
Car gatherings, shine-ups or wine-swilling
toasts
All the Normal-Door cars got heavily snubbed,
They were never
invited to join their Car Club.
Then ONE day, it happened, as the
Lambo-doors feared
A stranger appeared, with the brightest idea
"My
friends," he yelled in a voice clear and fast,
"Your problems are now a thing
of the past!
I've heard of your sorrow, your need to be fly,
I've come
here to help you, I'm the Body Kit Guy!
With frightening speed, and work
that was shoddy
The Body Kit Guy changed the doors of their body!
With
bondo and paint and body-kit filler
The Normal-Door Cars now had doors that
were killer.
The Lambo-door cars were now quite distraught
What
horrible things the body kits wrought,
Hondas and Vdubs, all commoners
cars
Had doors that flung high, no longer afar.
You could no longer tell,
comparing the two,
Which was well-bred or what one was who.
This just
could not be, it all had to stop,
When up, once again, the man he did
pop,
"My Lambo-door friends", the man slyly winked
"Things are never not
nearly as bad as you think."
"With a nip and a tuck and some nice
fiberglass,
You too can have doors not a pain in the ass.
You too will
have doors to fling way out wide.
You too can now dent all the cars by your
side."
And from that great day, on the roads of this nation,
All cars
were made equal, like God's own creation.
The doors of the cars on the roads
that surround us,
Could be had like
all others, 'cept those of a bus
.
