Thoughtful construction,
Oversized wheels lend balance,
Nigh-unbreakable steel skin.
Knowledge, foresight, quality
And bright, yellow paint.

Loved those tonka toys. They seemed to last forever. However would not have noticed it if you had not pointed it out to me first.

What? No one noticed the deeper philosophical truth in Jimryu? The same truths can be applied to good poetry. Knowledge of the writer, foresight in anticipating possible criticisms of the work, quality of the construction of words, and, of course, beauty of the words all work together to, as Ohme mentioned, help our verse to "last forever". Thanks folks. Appreciated the kind words.

Okay, okay. But what is a class without a class clown? But I can see I am not your first. But what about its deeper, philosophical meaning?
