Mister George: A Tribute
You came with surprise
what a wonderful gift
We were down to the wire
but our spirits did you lift.
Blue and white stripes
what beauty, what color
We knew without a doubt
we were meant for eachother.
Oh, how we loved you
your comfortable seats
And your bed in the back
on which we oft did sleep.
Though old, you had spirit
surprisingly low mileage, too
we always knew in tough times
that you would pull us through.
You never complained
But with determination pushed on
Even when you were in the shop
your energy was never gone.
Over mountains and through valleys
across land til we reached the sea
How could we have known
What fond memories there would be.
We will never forget you
though the years pass us by
with fond remembrance
we recall why:
In the summer of '06
'round this great country did we drive
In you, Mister George
Having the time of our lives.
In the fall of 2006, Mister George was donated to Wheels4Hope, a nonprofit organization that provides families in need with a reliable vehicle. It was thought that Mister George would never be seen again.
But alas, on October 30, 2008, for the first time in nearly 2 years, Mister George was spotted on South Saunders Street in Raleigh.
Here's to you, Mister George. Still pressin' on.
