A little Christmas humor

[glessen]

Let me set this up for you. My husband a BIG Ford fan. Will only own a Ford. My dad who hates Fords. Will not own one if it was given to him. Well my husband has a 63 Ford Galaxie that is all done up. NICE!!!! My dad has a 60 Chevy Impala that he use to drag race in high school. Many moons ago. Here is a Christmas poem I did for them. Every year my husband sends my father something to do with Ford.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and on the street,
nothing was moving, not even a Jeep.
All was still with nothing in sight.
Then what to my wandering eyes did I see,
but a Galaxie 500 alone at the light.
The moonlight glistened off my bat wings so gay,
my bow tie was ready to show ‘em the way.
I had some horsepower on my motor,
I would beat that Old Gal with it’s stroker.
I pulled along side and revved up with a knock,
pointed to the bat wing on my gay tail stock.
The light turned green, I was off like a jolt,
while the 500 filled the night sky with smoke.
I called to my eight pistons,
On basher, on crasher, on smasher and thrasher. On rattle and
battle and the one knocking.
Onward faster let’s finish the slaughtering.
The engine did rev, I was ready for action,
but just at that moment the Galaxie caught traction.
With a grin on his face, and a gleam in his eye,
like a shot from a cannon, that box top went by.
He blew by so fast, he spun me around twice,
I knew at that moment, I was kissing my ass good night.
He held up one finger as he drove into the night,
all I saw was dimming tail lights.
But I heard him exclaim as he roared outta sight,
“You stupid Chevy, you can’t beat Blue Oval Dynamite!”

We loved it. For the record even my dad thought it was cute. But then in the same breathe said 'pay backs are a b*tch'

LOl that is good. I got a good laugh from that one.

My dad is the same way never did care for fords. But he did own a old chevy coup with a 49 i think mercery flat head in it.
Said it would easily peg that old speedometer at 100.

Cool! Way to have a little fun at the expense of a bowtie!

I hope you don't mind I stole your story redid it just a hair (to make it fit him) and sent it to a chevy loving friend of mine. He didn't much care for it

[ford4x4fun]

Here is my verion I stole from ya! Again I hope you don't mind to much

‘Twas the night before Christmas and on the street,
nothing was moving, not even a Jeep.
All was still with nothing in sight.
Then what to my wandering eyes did I see,
but a 64 T-Bird alone at the light.
The moonlight glistened off my bow tie so gay,
my Camaro was ready to show ‘em the way.
A little horsepower squealed from my tail pipes,
I would beat that Old Gal I will show him all right.
I pulled along side and revved up with a knock,
pointed to the 350 and turned up “Like a Rock”.
The light turned green, I was off like a jolt,
while the T-bird’s tires filled the night sky with smoke.
I called to my eight pistons,
On basher, on crasher, on smasher and thrasher. On rattle and
battle and the one knocking.
Onward faster let’s finish the slaughtering.
The engine did rev, it was time for some action,
but just at that moment the T-Bird caught traction.
With a grin on his face, and a gleam in his eye,
like a shot from a cannon, that big bird went by.
He blew by so fast, he spun me around twice,
I knew at that moment, my assed out idea wasn’t so bright.
He held up one finger before he was out of sight,
all I saw was the thunderbird’s dimming tail lights.
But I heard him exclaim as he roared into the night,
“You stupid Chevy driver, bring a real car to the fight!”

I have no preference of make but the 60s had some bad ass motors, my day has had only one preference for it to be rear wheel drive at least, he has a lot of cars in his time and his favorite 3 that he has had was a 57 Studebaker Golden Hawk that did at least 140 off the show room floor, a 70s ltd with 390ho that had been suped with 411 rear that you could not drive with shoes, one time with that one he was stopped at a light in the left turn lane and someone about ran into him from behind so he lit up the intersection with smoke and borough everyone to stop and got around everyone, and a 90 cougar xr7 supercharge, I can have that one if I want to go to the ranch in montana where my uncle lives but the car has been in 4 fount end crashes, a deer was the last and it had a brake defect so it would not stop if slammed on the brakes. lets add in my dads 66 cadillac because it was a nice car its just in the middle of a restoration right now

Yes my dad's 60 Impala has the 35? tri power with 409 heads.

My husbands 63 Galaxie has a 390FE bored 30 over with a stroker kit.

So I am sure they both could give each one a run for there money.

It's a shame that they don't make cars like they use to. Grant it aI was not even thought of when the good cars were around. But owning one sure makes it fun.
