In The Days Before SUVs

I remember all of us crowded in
The stationwagon-back-end space,
Like monkeys in a padded bin,
As we drove to a distant scenic place

Playing games with cards, and spying
License-plates, and singing songs
About beer bottles on the wall,
The time flew by without even trying...
Driving the country roads: two-laned, long-
Stretching concrete strips, westward lying,
And leading to nothing at all
But the promise of mountains and swimming and fun
Under a summer vacation sun.

And no I-Pods or cell phones or DVDs,
We did quite well without any of these...
