Dot Skorski Essay - Runner Up

You can joke about the smoke and even complain about the noise,
but when talk comes to torque mine’s the best among the boys.
It purrs like a lion and rides like a steed.
When it come to towing, it’s fine indeed.
The mpg sure do please, and even cleaner than your gas,
And my odometer reading, you’ll never pass.
After all these miles this gal knows,
they’ll always be a diesel under my right toe.
