My spoof/spin-off of that venerable Christmas carol, Winter Wonderland.
Trembling On A Major Highway ( a spoof of Winter Wonderland)
         Air brakes squeal, am I flinching?
         Horns blast, blare, my sphincter's cinching.
         I'm a tiny Smart car
         waging a vehicle war.
         Trembling on a major highway.
         Monster trucks they surround me
         belching, rumbling, each a bully.
         Their jet stream jostles me along.
         I can but steer they're much too strong.
         Trembling on a major highway.
         On the tarmac I see some rubber,
         I must avoid, try not to blubber.
         I can't afford to blow a tire,
         or be stuck in the line of fire.
         Trembling on a major highway.
         The cost of fuel is atrocious,
         can't pay to drive a car more ferocious.
         My little tin shell gets buffeted 'round
         as we skim along an inch from the ground.
         Trembling on a major highway.
         White-knuckled drive, I'm exhausted.
         Nerves stretched thin; my patience?, lost it.
         I really dread my commutes
         next to the behemoth brutes.
         Trembling on a major highway. (25 lines)
