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.
