It was the middle of summer 

Time for the family to gather 

The best time of the year to meet with my uncle 

He was a first-class general with the army 

He was in the Vietnam war he 

Was severely injured 

When he got back he got a very big settlement 

After that big check came a new truck 

Just rolled off the assembly line in Detroit 

But a few weeks after he got it 

It was destroyed 

Thieves broke in and stole it 

He tried to come up with everything to replace it 

But since it wasn’t insured 

Nothing could be done 

He begged and pleaded to the insurance company 

So out of pity, they gave him a cotton candy mobile 

My family thought how weird 

Maybe it is the chemicals used in a war 

Or maybe it was the pure shock from being in the war 

It was most certainly made of cotton candy 

But it was all a dream
