It’s a Mack

It’s a Mack

On the highway

on the street

There’s a certain truck

I like to meet

It’s a Mack!

It’s an icon

Americana at its best

Like apple pie

like the local diner

the art deco theater

the corner grocery store

Dairy Queen ice cream

That bulldog

those capital letters on the grill

they’re MACK writ large

Mack ... the work horse

the garbage truck

the dump truck

the tanker

the freight truck

the moving van

Need I say more ...?

No wonder the nostalgia when I see it

And exclaim, “It’s a Mack!”
