Ugly but Reliable...

Poem Artwork

So far she’s been great transportation,

I might hesitate driving her across the nation,

But for close in runs to the shore or even to work,

This old girl has kept me from sitting at home,

Of feeling bored, depressed or in general stagnation…

 

Not a hot heater nor freezing air-conditioner, has she,

But her stereo will rock your world & the neighboring towns,

She stops and goes fine,

And has been pretty good since she became mine…

 

I know that this might be to you boring,

And of this car I may not be adoring,

Sure I’d rather have some kind of Jeep,

But for now & the immediate future,

Old Bonny and I live with each other,

Certainly she runs well and on the cheap…

LOL... very odishous and clever. We must always appreciate those things which do not of their own accord let us down. J

I LOVE HER... and I'll bet she'll be to you as your own mother before too long and she'll become the motor you'd live and die for! What we start out knocking will always have us begging in the end! :)) Adagirl! xx

Running cheap is good. I had a 68 Cougar once. WORST defroster and heater in the world. Gave it to my brother. He drove it into the ground and then abandoned it on some side street. Bad brother. Patrick
