Unspoken

My first car was unspoken 

A solid wheel vehicle 

One that Dady bought for me 

Trade in by my principal 

A 1950 it was 

Studebaker Starlight Coupe 

Back then only bicycles 

Their wheels had spokes and more spokes 

Well, tricycles still had spokes 

But the cars then were safer 

Doing away with the spokes 

Unspoken they had become 

 

Now again spokes have returned 

But they are so much stronger 

Engineered from solid steel 

My Mustang is much safer 

Much safer than solid steel 

Goodbye to unspoken wheels.
