Greetings my avid and dedicated readers! My sincerest apologies for the long hiatus. An extremely busy schedule, waves of an unpleasant disposition, many failed attempts at uploading my Moose Movie (which did upload on facebook), and being overwhelmed by the many things I've been wanting to write has caused this awful pause. Hopefully that won't happen again. So I figured today I'd get back into the swing of things with a little jingle for you.
As many of you may know, the Jesuit Volunteers do not own a vehicle. However, because I work at the Church I drive Fr. Chuck's Church truck to do the ministerial errands and so forth. I'd like to make something clear. I hate this automobile. I hate it with a fiery un-comical passion. The souls of heaven are needed to watch over me every time I set foot in it because I could very well leave this world in that red beat-up Ford with no working 4 wheel drive.
But today, I've decided to take those proverbial lemons and make lemonade by making fun of the truck I disdain so much. For those of you not living in Bethel, the Birthday Line mentioned in the song is the most famous radio show on Bethel's single radio station and the PO is the abbreviation for Post Office, which I have to go to everyday...which also has a parking lot made of a sheet of ice. Please sing my little jingle along to the tune of "Jingle Bells" and enjoy reading my driving experience.
"Evil Truck"
Skidding on the ice
In a 1990's truck
O'er the tundra we go
Screaming all the way.
Fan belt breaks and snaps.
I feel I'm going to die.
What fun it is to laugh and sing
With the Birthday Line tonight!
Oh, Evil Truck, Evil Truck
You're evil everyday.
Oh what fun it'll be to drive
Without you in PA.
Driving to the PO
The anger brews inside.
I can't control the wheel.
St. Chris be by my side!
I get stuck in a ditch.
Broken key is just my luck.
It makes me want to yell a word
That rhymes with Father Chuck!
Oh! Evil Truck, Evil Truck
You're evil everyday.
Oh what fun it'll be to drive
Without you in PA.
You're evil everyday.
Oh what fun it'll be to drive
Without you in PA.
Hey! Evil Truck, Evil Truck
You're evil everyday.
Oh what fun it'll be to drive
Without you in PA.
