EVS SAY STOP LISTENING
The USSR made the Lada its car
Serbs said if you go make sure by Yugo
VW bugs gave Kraut hearts a tug
Five hundred the number for Fiat to be at
Though not very posh on Avenue Foch
Frenchmen who know chose the old Deux Cheveaux
America’s pet? the little Chevette
History writ large on rattling tin,
Sounds to tell you where you have been
The electrical car is quelling the roar
Quietude where never before
On magical carpets you silent glide
No cylinders stuttering at your side
Awaiting you Flint. BoIse, Butte
Visit them all but only on mute
BERNARD HOLLAND
