LOL! Your motor home looks great, but are you sure you will be able to update the culture with it? It certainly ranks with the Clintons evacuating the furniture from the White House as they drive across the South Lawn.

I just ate the saddest pretzel I have ever seen.
A soul tormented beneath a shell of salt.
Its endless depression worn in plain sight.
Believing everyone's problems are its own fault.
It longs for death but fights to live with all its might.
What has made this pretzel so?
Were saturnine days kneaded into its being?
What hands baked it in the fires of woe?
Its eyes intended for tears but not seeing?
Its answers, secrets, when heard some may find funny.
But none shall ever know again for it is locked in my tummy!
Happy Pretzel Day!?!

BTW, this is a parody on Pablo Neruda, the far-left poet from Chile, who wrote: "I can write the saddest poem of all tonight...."
