WELL!!!! Faaarrrrrrr be it from me to let someone else get in the last word:

I think that I shall never see
An auto that appeals to me
As much as a Volkswagen Bus.
A car designed, without much fuss,
To go Where One Has Not Before
And do it with just speeds of four;
To go, and with you take it all
For creature comforts, big and small;
To carry all, and not complain
In winter's snow and summer's rain;
To last for families, passing down
>From Old to Young, who've newly found
The sheer delight and sect's appeals
Of driving in a box on wheels.
