"The Night Before Christmas"
"THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS" T’was the night before Christmas and out in the garage, there wasn’t a trace of a Chevy or Dodge. The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit, so I figured I'd mess with the A for a bit. I popped the hooks and lifted the hood, when a deep voice behind me said "Looks pretty good." Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick, and there, by the workbench, stood good ol Saint Nick! We stood there a bit, not to sure what to say, then he said "Don't suppose that you'd trade for my sleigh? I said "No way, Santa" and started to grin, "But if you have the time we can go for a spin!" His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow, Turned into a smile and he said "Hey! Let's go!!" So as not to disturb all the neighbors' retreat, we pushed the A quietly into the street, Then, taking our places to drift down the hill, I turned on the key and let the clutch spill. The sound that erupted took Santa by surprise, but he liked it a lot, from the look in his eyes. With the tires singing and headlights aglow, We headed out to where old cars go. Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears, With every shift up as I went through the gears. Then he yelled "Can't recall when I've felt so alive!" So I backed off the gas and said "You wanna drive?" Ol Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys, When he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees! The 4 banger exploded with that Model A sound, as Santa let out the clutch and the tires bit the ground! He double clutched into second, and again into third! I sat there just watching, at loss for a word, Then I heard him exclaim as we cruised out of sight, "Merry Christmas to all...........and to all a Model A good night!!!" Merry Christmas

Re: "The Night Before Christmas"
No, I wish I had. I found it on the Ford truck forum when I was looking for things for our club Christmas party. I rewrote it from there subsituting Model A word for F150 ones.
Merry Christmas Everyone, Jon |
