I Got Passed Up By A Prius : Poem For Now, Song For Later
61Forget Google Ranking on This One!
I Got Passed Up By A Prius is pretty much self-explanatory. It was written as a song and will surface eventually as a YouTube video, but my fingertips (for cleaning off guitar chords) aren't quite back in shape yet. As a poem, it's doubtful Google's computer will like it, figuring I'm "keyword stuffing"...but that's not it.
It's simply that when sung, it has to be done this way to work at all.
Okay, done with the caveat; here be the lyrics:
============================================
I got passed up by a Prius out on Highway 92
That car was running silent like that car is prone to do
I got passed up by a Prius out on Highway 92
============================================
=============================================
I got passed up by a Prius when I slowed down for a cop
Who was ticketing a tanker but that hybrid didn't stop
I got passed up by a Prius when I slowed down for a cop
=============================================
I got passed up by a Prius and it really made my day
Could have beat him with a Pinto...if I had one, anyway
I got passed up by a Prius and it really made my day
===========================================
I got passed up by a Prius, old Ed Begley's favorite car
Hear he's working for Obama as the Wussy Wagon Czar
I got passed up by a Prius, old Ed Begley's favorite car
===========================================
===========================================
I got passed up by a Prius on my way out to the store
He went zipping right around me and he blew off all my doors
I got passed up by a Prius on my way out to the store
===========================================
I got passed up by a Prius; gotta be a liberal
Still thinks Obama's the Messiah out to save the entire world
I got passed up by a Prius; gotta be a liberal
===========================================
I got passed up by a Prius, hammer down and flying by
Dollar to a donut, buddy, I spend less, the way you drive
I got passed up by a Prius, hammer down and flying by
===========================================
=================================================
I got passed up by a Prius; guess he's got cheap fuel to burn
Enjoy yourself, you hybrid humper; 2012's around the turn
I got passed up by a Prius; guess he's got cheap fuel to burn
=================================================

Curses!
BTW, I see there's a new car out there (I forget the make) that gets 35 MPG but is not an expensive hybrid, so why pay for all that gimmickry?
Pop: Couldn't hang my head. I was too busy staring, thinking, "Did I see what I just saw?"
Will: Not to mention the kilowatt cost and a few other things.
Ghost, I had no idea you were so talented.
Loved I got passed by a prius. hehe
Keep on truck'n
Seems like HubPages is a magnet for folks with more varied interests than they can reveal in a single swipe. It's a Renaissance Website!
HA! After the little diddy you left as a comment for my hub, I had to swing by and check out your stuff too. Great hub!
LOL You got passed by a Prius, but that is the car that didn't pass me by, he wrecked into me. ROFL laughing all the way.... :)
Emilybee: Thanks!
WMH: Must not have been the same driver; "my" Prius missed me by a mile--well, by three feet, anyway.
Well now I feel bad. I've been driving a Prius for over five years. Great little car. Expensive at first, but you sure don't let a change in gas prices ruin your day anymore, even at near $4 a gallon.
Heh, my nephews even gave it a name "Ellen", and my best friend calls it "The Time Machine". It's now a car with character.
That wasn't you out on Highway 92 the other day, was it? LOL!
So...did they name it "Ellen" 'cause it's kind of gay for a car, or? (Maybe not--I have an aunt by that name, and she's not gay at all.)
The Time Machine sounds pretty cool.
They named it 'Ellen' because the Navigation System is set to speak with a female voice.
You know, it's amazing how time changes things. Would you ever have imagined a car talking to you when you were a kid? The dog, maybe, or the cat, but a car?
Your Prius has Ellen tell you where to turn? Man...I'd hate that. One wife giving directions is enough!
No, I don't remember imagining a talking car when I was growing up. Then again, when the TV show Knight Rider came along....
