studebakered ,a poem my dad had

[lightinglark956]

for the past few years I have been studebakered ! a bit queer,perhaps even ugly,but something about the metal monster makes me buy it again and again .buying your first Studebaker is a bit like smoking your first cigarette.at first you think you made a mistake .soon everyone tells you the product is a dud .it burns oil,breaks down frequently and has been known to deavor owners ...so the rumors go .it is somewhat like acquiring a wife thru the mail from a Chinese brothel and suddenly to your utter amazement ,finding she has more value than any new England braud .the Studebaker is like an ugly dog,it grows on you inspite of its appearance .having had the company of three of these much maligned metal monsters ,I can honesty report that I've never experienced a breakdown ...not even a flat tire !!I fill the beast with the cheapest gas going,change the oil when it is as thick as maple syrup in Alaska and wash its hide about once a year . Studebaker owners are similar to convert-catholics ,doomedto an eternity in hell .hemingway once noted that the very word Studebaker was quite beautiful.while other men champion the underdog,i have found a real underdog ....Studebaker !!! every studie I have possessed has driven like a kiddle car ,seldom needed a gas drink and if it does need an sip of oil so what .like the wife purchased from a Chinese brothel the studie is hard to sell .however if you have something really good why sell it ?buying a studie is like two catholics getting married ,once they sign the papers hell itself can freeze over but the marriage is still on !!your friends and bankers will think you have lost your mind ,but possessing one of these beasts is worth the trouble
