EAGLE FENDER

Eagle fender
it got dented as i stood in line at neighborhood drugstore
i was buying firewood

i drove back onto the sidewalk and across the neighborhood
my Eagle fender
it got dented pretty good

it’s never easy to get your car unbent
there’s no such thing as “’twas just an accident”

it’s not a flying car regardless of its name
maybe it glides if it rides off a cliff
depending on your aim

but aviation’s for the birds
if i might coin a phrase
i’d much prefer unpopular
to single entendres

oh great, it’s raining
we’re starting our descent
fasten your seatbelts

well who’s to blame?
your car got dented
and who’s got the guts to say it:
you should’ve rented?
you should have rented!

Eagle fender
it’s a low-down cryin’ shame
regardless of how much Bondo
it will never look the same

barely street legal,
a profile in courage
my fragile Eagle
i drive it like a badge
