Skidsophrenia Poem by Robert Sheridan

Any of a group of Automobile Disorders
Characterized by a withdrawal from the
road, taking the driver, and sometimes
the passengers into an illogical pattern
of unexpected or uncontrollable sliding;
A process known as Vehicle Decline or
Vehicle Deterioration; begins when your
auto moves obliquely or sideways, in an
uncontrolled manner - 'Hello hydroplane,
we're here to slip and slide, sideways if
you please; in other words, we can't get
a grip on reality.' So, I guess you could
say, 'Our lives are passing before us, and
we're on the skids! ' Please everyone, join
us in song -
'Rule, Skidsophrenia! Skidsophrenia, rules
the way on a rain soaked day:
Autos with cheap or balding tires will make
us their slaves...'
