His car, a rusty banger, had been left in quite a state
\nBut he knew he’d found the answer to the problem, decorate!
\nYou wouldn’t see the rust marks if he found a china cat,
\nA photo of his grandma and a model bowler hat.<\/p>\n
On holiday they visited a windmill on a farm
\nAnd there they sold small wooden clogs, a perfect lucky charm;
\nA flatback “dog and owner” and a pewter candlestick,
\nA wotsit filled with doodahs and a plastic golden brick.<\/p>\n
Each ornament a testament to something close to taste
\nAnd each one complimentary and most precisely placed.
\nHe has to corner slowly or the treasures disappear
\nAnd bumps and roads with potholes fill the driver’s heart with fear.<\/p>\n
Last week they went to Walmart where they found the final touch,
\nThough maybe on reflection it was just a just a bit to much.
\nWhen you drive along through Kansas it may come as quite a shock,
\nIf the car in front assaults you with a giant cuckoo clock!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
