Who is Tank Turner you ask?
He’s a Truck Driver so I have to make this fast
Tank Turner being a man 6 Foot and built solid
He had the skills to drive the truck through any condition or situation
Tank Turner known other Truckers being the motto, “The Tank Knows”
He was a Trucker who often made his point and it would always show
Once at a Café Truck Stop, Tank Turner got into a terrible brawl
It was so bad no one wanted to witness so some began to crawl
Tank Turner and Trucker Sky Blue got into a fight over Curvy Sally
Curvy Sally was another Trucker, but was a Female
She had more curves than the road, but had the body of observe and behold
The fights would often linger on and on
But on this particular night it didn’t last long
You see Curvy Sally was married to a Minister who was also the town’s Sheriff
Her Husband was about true Faith
But Curvy Sally had a problem in being faithful
This all happened in the town of ‘FORGOTTEN STREAM”
Forgotten Stream may sound like a town not on the map
But it was the town’s Sheriff who had the identification of the Justice Cap
The Sheriff actually intervened and the fight quickly came to an end
Then Tank Turner and Trucker Sky Blue got into their trucks and it was on the road again
Keep on Truckin
Riding down highway 101
The road into the sunset progressing into tomorrow’s sunrise
Tractor Trailer wheels keep on spinning
The schedule being the inning
As the highway makes a bend
Our story becomes with the curtain down that ends.

We don’t need another Hero
Private Dancer
Rolling on the River
On Silent Wings
These are only a small sample of the many songs recorded by Tina Turner
She flew into her tomorrow
Fans around the globe feeling sorrow
Ms. Turner performed always her powerful dance
Fans always excited at her concerts being captivated like in a trance
She moved in pulsating motions and a voice of an angel
Transcended peace
Ms. Turner will always be remembered as an ICON
Her own blend even to the end
Ms. Turner’s determination always had a preserver
Her soulful spirit soaring through the skies
The Legend roaming with Thy
Ms. Turner having a story of contemporary
The moment of pause only temporary
Yet her soul will be among our hearts forever
Ms. Turner lived her purpose and destiny out
If there was a message she would leave her many fans, I believe it would be, “Be determined and just do it. Be your own best”
Ms. Turner left me with, “Can, Shall and Will”
She now above all
A journey well spent
Heavens sent
Her time not our time
To be remembered and never forgotten
Until, Until, Until
It’s not goodbye
Ms. Tina Turner is rejoicing with Thy
We shall meet again.

"My mouth hasn't shut up about you since you kissed it. The idea that you may kiss it again is stuck in my brain, which hasn't stopped thinking about you since, well, before any kiss. And now the prospect of those kisses seems to wind me like when you slip on the stairs and one of the steps hits you in the middle of the back. The notion of them continuing for what is traditionally terrifying forever excites me to an unfamiliar degree."
