Behind the eight ball

Jim shampine was a legend in his days of driving race cars,He died doing what he what he loved to do, and did it better than any outher driver in his time.

At Oswego 8 ball is in,

 front of the pack!

At Thompson he cruises to victory,

Like a truck called Mack.

He wins a lot of money,

Enough to fill a large sack.

I haven't seen him,

 at Star yet,

mabby its the track he cant hack.

They tell us Jim is coming,

But the announcer,

must be a quack.

He only showes up for,

 the easy ones,

Is it the time it takes

 to get here,

Or is it the gas that

 he must lack.

{Note this was at the time of the gas shortage}

He didn't win last time at Thompson,

But I know there he will be back.

And he ever gets to race Star,

I will change my name from

John, to Jack.

big race of the year)
