The Too-Small Car

 

By Elton Camp

 

Now that the cost of gas is on the rise again

People will be seeking a way the war to win

For sure, mileage of those monster-size SUVs

At near four a gallon nobody is gonna please

 

Occasionally now I see a car that is really small

I’m not sure that’s the really best way to go at all

And I don’t know how safety we could expect

If in one of those things we should be wrecked

 

And face it, some people are really king-size

Buying such a car by them couldn’t be wise

Before they can get down the road very far

Someone may yell, “Get out and carry the car.”
