American Pied Beauty

Glory be to God for levee'd Chevys,
    For jesters playing for the queen and king,
        For the pick-up truck of a lonely teenage buck;
For February-shivering paper-deliveries,
    For good ol' boys that whiskey-and-wryly sing
        As the music dies in a stroke of rotten luck:

All things rocking, rolling, rhythm-and-bluesing;
    Every heart-rending pluck of a guitar-string;
        Songs heard on the radio, oldies often played;
Boys and girls, glad-brash, sad, crashed; dancing, boozing --
                Whom God hath made.
