<\/a><\/figure><\/div>It\u2019s been snowing for so damn long,
It feels good now that winter is gone.
And it\u2019s shining… it\u2019s all starting to thaw.<\/p>
The days are longer and the night is short,
I quit looking at the road report.
And I\u2019m finding… I\u2019m not feeling so blah.<\/p>
A quick wash and some shine on the tires,
A wax job that the public admires.
It\u2019s refreshing… the sun shines on my face.<\/p>
The road sizzling in the blistering heat,
Reflections of my wheels on the street.
It\u2019s a blessing… it helps pick up my pace.<\/p>
The flap weights flash as they swing along,
The chrome stacks keep singin\u2019 their song.
And I\u2019m cruising… my seat flat on the floor.<\/p>
My CB\u2019s just swingin\u2019 the mic,
I sing along with the music I like.
It\u2019s amusing… but I\u2019ll do it some more.<\/p>
It\u2019s warm days with the sun in the sky,
That make a man think his big rig will fly.
It\u2019s enchanting… it just makes you want more.<\/p>
The wildflowers and the trees are in bloom,
The left lane needs a little more room.
As I\u2019m planting… my right foot on the floor.<\/p>
It feels good just to break from a funk,
To polish up this old piece of junk.
And get with it… smash some bugs in the grill.<\/p>
It\u2019s high time we get out of the snow,
Shake it off and let\u2019s giddy-up-go!
And stick with it… I most certainly will!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Here it comes! My favorite time of year!! I absolutely love the springtime, especially after the snow has thawed away and all the wildflowers start to bloom. It\u2019s refreshing to begin to warm up and shake off the nasty wintertime funk. This is when I typically get everything polished and waxed, and if you\u2019re anything<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30137,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-30135","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-poetry-in-motion"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30135"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30314,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30135\/revisions\/30314"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tenfourmagazine.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
