Lego Tow Truck

I made a Lego tow truck and this YouTube video is where I got my idea.  Now here are the details.

Here is the front.
You can see it has a Texas bumper, which is a bumper that is wide and low.

Here is the side front. The black piece next to the door is the air filter.

The cab side. ( Like the smokestacks? )

Yep, the doors open. (Still like the smokestacks?)

Top front view. (Like the skylight?)
Inside there's a bunk bed and a cabinet.
With a pistol. (He doesn't use it much.)

  The lights and the winch. 

The yellow piece closest to you is for towing.

 
These are the booms and they turn.

See?


They go up and down too.

The red piece is the turntable.

The little thing with wheels is a segway.

But I realized I forgot a engine, air horns, mirrors, stabilizers, and tools. So I added them.

 Here is the truck.

 Here is the front and the mirrors.

 
 The air horns.


 The hood and engine.


 The engine.


The white piece is the hinge for the toolbox.

Here are all the tools.


This is the other side.


These are the stabilizers.


That is where he stores his segway.
  
The red thing inside is a blender.

 The green triangle is the pillow for the bunk bed.


Front view again.


  The lights again.


 This is looking down the booms.


 The thing on the back again. (Do you know what it's called?)

That's how long the tow cable is.
But I forgot that, on trucks like this the whole front tilts forward.

So here are the final improvements.
Opening...

 Opening...

Open!

 Much more space.
 
 Jack. It was McCance's idea.

Poetry I

I had to read poem 11, Snowflakes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow for school,  and then I had to write a poem with the same rhyme scheme. Here it is. 

Untitled,  by Ken Worth (my pen name)

In the school I need to go,
But there's the bell--no time right now,
Oh man, oh, look it's beginning to snow,
And now I yell, " look, a cow! ",
Running straight back past class,
Finally a free bathroom pass.
