Don't cry over thigs, part II

This is the second poem about a nostalgia-themed resteraunt and catering service which was destroyed by a 206 fire. Some of the items survived and were displayed in the business' new location and they still hold many memories.

A western Duke,


a debonair Bat,


brave, courageous and bold,


riding for justice and the law


on screens small and large.


 


Tod and Buzz, gettin' their kicks on 66


and there's the sign of the guy 


with the blue bow tie,


should the 'vette need an oil change.


 


Spacemen and starlets,


stately old sportsmen


always buying Chesterfields.


 


Jan and Dean and Mitchum,


the Beach Boys and bootleggers,


Dead man's curve and the Thunder Road,


won't come back from either place.


 


Natalie Wood trying to give


the rebel a cause.


The moon was glowing on a


quiet Kansas picnic


when Holden showed up.


 


Squealing tires,


a blazing gun,


listen to 'LS each Sunday,


it comes on like...


 


have a Coke and  a smile


in a friendly place


on the Bonpas,


Zing! What a feeling.


 


They're all gone now,


but in our dreams and memories,


we can stop and reminisce


while filling up at the Speedway pump.
