If there’s one thing most Texans can agree on, it’s a love of trucks. Whether you favor the vintage variety or something new with all the bells and whistles, trucks have a special place in this state. That was the inspiration for Typewriter Rodeo’s Kari Anne Roy as she wrote this week’s poem.
Texans & Their Trucks
doesn’t matter if it’s four wheel
or a dually taking up a lane and a half
maybe it’s a little nissan
or some old beast that your daddy drove
and his daddy drove
your truck
is you
and if it’s not you
it’s the you
you want to be
it rides you high
and gets you where you need to go
it hauls your crap
and your precious crap, too
your truck
your truck
is you
people not from texas might not get it
but who cares about them
we’ll be there with our V8s
to get them out of trouble
because no matter what anyone says
or does
Texans are nuts
about their trucks
