I was drivin' to New Orleans,
A friend of mine and I,
Crusin' down to Mardi Gras,
Driving eighty five.

Listenin' to the radio,
One of them trivia shows,
Drivin' in a Mustang,
With my mobile phone.

The DJ asked a question,
"We'll take caller number nine"
I must have dialed that number,
At least a dozen times.

The question that he asked was:
"What's it say upon,
Smokey Bear's hat my friends,
That's what this question's on."

I finally got the DJ,
He said "You're caller number nine!!
Congratualions fella,
You called us just in time!!"

He again repeated the question,
But said I answered wrong?
The answer that I rendered was:
"Hat Made In Hong Kong"

He laughed and laughed until he sobbed,
And though I answered wrong,
Asked me if I want a job,
Cuz my mind's really gone.

That's where almost everything seems to be made these days, isn't it Toerag? Thoroughly enjoyed.

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

You don't need a dj to tell you your mind is gone, boy. You got around a hundred people here to verify that one!

Mine's been gone a while... so if it's true, you sure aren't alone! Cute poem, delightful humor.

I used to drive a Mustang convertible. I loved that car and enjoyed rolling down the highway with the radio blaring and me singing along ~ wearing a hat made in Hong Kong!

As the DJ implied, you may not have a lotta sense ~ but I shore doos love yer sense of hoomah!
