    To Moot by request

    Moot ask me to write some new jingles, so in my sleep depraved state on a run to Salt lake city, I jotted these down in my head.

    Ode to Phil
    To the tune of The beverly hillbillies.

    Come and listen to my story bout a man named Phil
    Built him a truck so they’ed have a place to live
    Spent a lot of money so he had to work real hard
    Delivering freight in his back yard (The Nation that is, 48 States, Canada too)

    Then one day he was looking for some freight
    Dispatch said “Phil you’re just too late,” Said “Cal I fornia is the place you orta be,”
    So he cranked up his truck and they drove to Bev er ly. ( Paid relocation, .50 a mile, Fuel $4.00 plus per gal???)

    Well now ole Phil’s become a millioniar,
    starting writing TV Soap stories and they got aired
    and when folks start asking “How’d you do it Phil?"
    He just replies “Thanks to…the writers guild” (Truer than life fiction, lots of detail, takes months to get through on episoide)



    Tis the season
    To the tune of Jingle bells

    Driving down the road
    Running day and night
    Over the mountains we go
    Oh what a beautiful sight

    Freight is getting slow
    And look at the price of gas
    All I got to say
    Is Iran can kiss my A$$

    OK Moot & Cheri, and others, I'm getting it started lets keep em going!!

    Danny, that was priceless! I haven't written anything in ages, but if/when I can come up with something humorous, I'll throw it in the pot, too. Meantime, got any more? Like Mr Goodtude's photos, your ditties are inspired!

    Thanks Danny. That might be your best one yet. I will have to dig through the archives and re-read your songs from a couple of Christmases ago. Count me out of the song writing, but I certainly look forward to more of yours and others.

    RE: To Moot by request

    Today I turned off the audiobook, and turned on the music in my head, and this is what popped out:
    (To the tune of "America, the beautiful"

    Oh beautiful - the consignee! I found them in the fog,
    Can hardly wait to drop this frieght
    And catch up on my log...
    Please save a spot, down at the J
    I'm coming there to stay
    If I can spy a forklift guy
    I'll soon be on my way!

    And of course, a seasonal jingle, to the tune of "Jingle bells"

    Dashing through the posts
    Watching for your name,
    Skipping o'er boasts
    Because they're all the same...
    Watching for your friends,
    Their words you hope to find,
    Could there be a better way
    To spend some time online?
    O, EO is a great place, to spend some time online,
    The mods are cool, they keep the rules,
    And everyone in line!
    Hey! EO is a great place, to spend some time online,
    Meet new folks, laugh at jokes,
    It's 'edutainment' time!

    To the tune of Wabash Cannonball!

    Now listen to the jingle
    the jumble and the roar
    as we travel down the interstate
    at 80 maybe more
    hear the mighty humm of the kitty
    and the lonesome drivers yell
    do'nt ask me where I'm goin'
    cause I ca'nt even tell!

    And now for some Jones
    to the tune of "If drinkin' do'nt kill me"

    If drinkin' do'nt kill me
    truck driving will
    I ca'nt hold out much longer
    if I do'nt take a pill
    It gets harder each day Lord
    just to top one more hill
    and if drinkin' do'nt kill me
    truck driving will!

    Pappy :P

    Thanks Pappy. I enjoy these and it sure beats stringing topic titles together.

    To the tune of Grandmaw got Run Over By a Reindeer


    Grandmaw got run over by a Mack truck
    Hauling a heavy load to Tennessee
    You can say there's no such thing as truckers
    But as for me and Grandpaw we beleive

    To the tune of We Three Kings

    We three truckers talking on Channel 19
    Driving so fast the mile markers can't be seen
    West ward heading vans ,flatbedding just outside abilene
    Oh lights are flashing, flashing bright
    Can smokey be working on Christmas Eve Night?
    Thank the Lord for TVC they send a lawyer to represent me

    I know they stink but at least I tried.

    If you would like to learn how to help Cancer Victims please PM me. This is completely legitimate. I'm just not going to cause a public scene like others have in the past. Send me a PM and I'll get you the reading materail.
