I apologize to poets everywhere.

We had drive-ins when I was a kid but things were simple.  We parked and a carhop came out and took our order.  We didn't get one of the drive through things until I was in high school and I"ve got to tell you, it was confusing to a slow thinking squid like myself.  So I wrote a poem about it.  As usual, I apologize to poets everywhere.

When I was just a young man,

I was driving down the road,

When I spied a brand new restaurant.

But it looked a little odd, you know.

 

There was a street running down the side

Where, in a window, a feller sat.

I couldn't tell what was going on

Or what he was doing in that.

 

I saw a sign as I approached,

"Drive Through Window," it said.

It seemed like a strange request to me.

A lot of trouble just to get fed.

 

But, who am I to argue?

So I drove in as he ran and ducked.

Ordered me a Pepsi and some french fries.

Cost me seven-thousand bucks.
