(I'm uploading early so I can get this in on time, since when you read this I'll be having hand surgery.)
To the Brickyard 500, to fix up some Stock
To make them race faster, to run like a clock,
I've sent my mechanic. Stan's messy, it's true,
But he's dressed in his workboots and overalls too.
He's rough and he's tough, he has tools, tires, and wrenches.
He works hard on cars (doesn't care for those wenches
Who only want flowers, and dancing, and craziness)
Cuz he's never not ever been accused of some laziness.
He fixes what's broken. Rick pays him in cash.
At the end of the race he takes off with a dash
And heads off for home. Tea's just not his style.
He'll relax with some chips, and a beer, and a smile.
This will go off to Jess, who is still recuperating.

LOL! Great poetry, and Stan is, well, the man! What a fun digi image, and love the screws in the corners. Hope the surgery goes well and you're back to stamping and sharing your artwork soon.
