Last night I went
Last night I went and raced with the Highway Patrol
But that Pontiac done had more guts than mine.
And so I wrapped my tail around a telephone pole
And now my baby she just sits a cryin’.
I’m up in heaven, darlin’, now don’t you cry;
Ain’t no reason why you should be blue.
Just go on out and race a cop in Daddy’s old Ford
And you can join me up in heaven, too.
-Thomas Pynchon - V.

The opening is grand… the ending is weak, but overall a nice poem!
