Emily Hits the Road

The heart asks reststops first,
a toilet and a smoke,
the Golden Arch that promises
a Big Mac and a Coke,

a Citco for some gas,
a Starbucks for a fix,
and for the weary motorist,
a roadside Motel Six.

The red wheelbarrow parody is delightful.

Thanks, Bazza.

Some good ones here. Great topic. Too bad it's not a Speccie Comp. Does Lucy take suggestions? If she used this, we'd have a headstart!

Whose stop this is I think I know.
Their main plant is in Mexico.
They will not mind me stopping here
To fill my tank and drop some dough.

I need to pee, so how I cheer
To find a decent men's room near.
No paper towels? For heaven's sake!
These blowdriers can take all year.

I leave, and make my first mistake.
I buy a large MacDonald's shake.
It tastes like crap. At least it's cheap.
I feel my large intestines quake.

I buy a Starbucks, dark and deep,
For I have schedules left to keep,
And drivers should not fall asleep,
And drivers should not fall asleep.

Some great stuff in this thread.
Rob, your S2 is on the nail.
Best,
