One Horsepower…


 


Italian cars in the early years,


Were ones that would make anyone have fears,


Fiats in particular were such junk,


Better then to drive them drunk,           


Space inside was lacking as it was in the trunk…


 


The engines left a great deal to be desired,


Whoever it was that built it must have been wired,


Sped through the assembly, they needed to be fired,


They were quite truthfully a car where safety was not inspired…


 


This particular vehicle,


While handling like a pig on a bicycle,


Did also have more horsepower than most,


This poor horse he certainly does look quite morose…

God bless,
