This one a wreck but was still mine for a short time...(I wish AD would get rid of the editor thingy below)


Poem Artwork

 

 

 

 

The Torino GT wrecked

Still needed to get to work

So out dad & I went to the dealer

Its there we did find its replacement

All day it took as we got it checked…

-----------------------------------------

The paint faded from the sun

Much the color of this poem, this one

I remember little about it, not sure why

What I do remember was when you pushed it

The old wreck did haul up for second then stalled & died...

-----------------------------------------

She was a 66’ Oldsmobile Delmont 88

I guess we saved her for a bit from her eventual fate

The crusher did do her in someday in her future

She was an old wreck, but in her carb she was first rate…J

"Thingy"? I didn't see a "thingy" anywhere, not even an itty bitty "thingy". Did you imagine this "thingy" or did you cook it up in your self-concocted concoctor? I looked it up in my online dictionary, and it replied, "are you illiterate or just stupid?" I didn't know how to respond, so I just x'ed out of the program. Do you see what a dilemna you put me in? They should have added another option to their program, like "did some squirrely guy introduce you to this new and unabridged word?" I would have felt much better if they had offered that option, but instead, I had to kill their measley little program. And now, I am a program killer. See what you've done, you squirrely guy, you! This is terrible--I may never be able to sleep again, because my conscience will probably eat my ears off. I am serious. I don't joke about my ears being eaten off.

From a new wreck to an old wreck, but what the heck, as long as you liked her.

Wasn't a light brown Torino GT that the cop "Popeye" totalized driving in the French Connection film? as we are talking of wrecks?
