Truckfest22
PolarPaddy 1953 (Avoca)
Truckfest22, the great protest in our country,
You are not at all so funny, no matter how you try,
Your conduct and antics however well-intentioned,
Are intrusive to the communities you have freebooted.
Such assembly not seen since the days of Woodstock and yet here you are,
Uninvited into the neighborhoods parking trucks without care.
Though this message may seem pointed and critical,
Your disruptive assembly is both egotistical and political.
Not since Woodstock, have we seen assembly with such passion,
But it ends right there and has no comparison,
In that event people mixed, partied, and had fun all around,
Truckfest22 divides our communities and drives our economy to the ground.
