Trucking Wonders
Not one year in Southland but I have been Three times to that marvel on the trucking scene With something new each time you go This gives a truck driving man a real good show
I went this time with friends of mine And saw a Mack AC that was sublime As it glittered in its shining red With a Bulldog on the bonnet head
New wooden spoke wheels we did spy With smooth solid rubber on each tire And to me it really did appear Better than in showroom shining clear
Allied Mack’s and Southern Leyland paint Good examples of the old and quaint With photo’s of Richardson’s vast fleets Now added to our visual treats
Two hundred trucks stand on display With painted murals along the way And petrol pumps of year’s gone bye Makes the nostalgic almost cry
Two hours or more I spent each time Wandering up and down each line As I chatted with others of like mind All happy with the sights they find
