Work in progress but here goes anyway. Just looking forward to this year.
Carlisle 2004
Arrive at hotel, Thursday only to find
A bug covered car with dirt and grime
First things are first, I always say
So up to the room and put things away
Next on the list, get me a beer
Then down to the car and clean with a sneer
Things start to look better as to dinner I go
Some steak and shrimp a good meal, I think so
Then out to the lot for a walk and to find
Some fellow LOD members in just a short time
First just two and then more start to show up
I find Rene and her husband unloading their stuff
From that beautiful Mark and their Black Lightning truck
Soon friendships renewed and we wish each other luck
Luck for the show and to win a nice plaque
Carlisle each year I love coming back
Friday awake with friends ready to meet
So off to the show, man this is sweet
Once at the grounds registration begins
Then thru the gates and alright we are in
First find your place and then food for to find
A cold rainy day but all will be fine
Umbrellas and sweatshirts we huddle together
Trying to find comfort from this horrible weather
As we sit keeping warm we talk about cars
And how we all love to drive and keep ours
Later that day we all seem to decide
To head back and do something inside
Dinner we think would be a great idea
To Perkins we head at this time no fear
Once the orders are placed all seems to be well
A waitress appears what is this about prey tell
We seem to be out of the steak at this time
You have to be joking no porter or prime
Well as it appears they are frozen rock hard
Oh boy what a day the cooks a big tard
So for the manager we place a call
We then inform him how his staff dropped the ball
Some change their order others will wait
Then comes out nothing more than a room temp milkshake
We can laugh only so long
and then it is clear this choice was so wrong
The rest of the food was mediocre at best
Then back to the hotel for a good evenings rest
The morning of Saturday I awake with great hope
That yesterdays weather was just a big joke
Step out the door for the trip to the grounds
Breath a sigh of relief not a raindrop around
The day starts off in a typical way
Clean and shine for its judgment day
The public decides who’s car looks the best
Little did I know but I passed the test
We all walked around looking at Fords
Judging which ones should get the awards
Several of us were manning the tent
Selling LOD stuff making Alexander content
Recruiting members for our national club
And most of all spreading some of our Lincoln love
When the day was thru it was not near done
Back to the hotel for a meeting and fun
Dinner was great as many would tell
The awards looked really quite swell
Door prizes were given and a good time was had
Fellowship abounded and no body was mad
The meeting followed where things were discussed
A direction was take and the past left in the dust
A new LOD would rise and not fall
And the membership would benefit one and all
Sunday the last day of the show
We all met in the morning ready to go
We arrive and setup waiting to hear
Which of us placed in the top honors this year
Leo as usual took 1st place and best
Driller, Dave, Rene and all the rest
Took plaques and awards home this year
I placed for my Focus amid lots of jeers
Even though some Foci people hated my guts
I felt at home with all my fellow Lincoln nutz
As the parade started and we all said goodbye
I felt really sad and wanted to cry
Everyone is so nice and we all have fun
Even if I don’t drive a Lincoln this club gets it done
So I look forward to another great show in 2005
I just want to keep this great club alive
