She was born the same year as me...

Kinda beat down but aren't we all...?


Poem Artwork

Was she,
Less mileage than me,
But I look better on the surface,
Knocked around, used in a circus,
I was born, she was purchased…

For her they are asking three grand,
Worth more I do think of myself,
On all four sneakers she still stands,
The interior a bit beat, then again so is mine,
She isn’t too bad for an old barn find…

She runs on all eight cylinders,
I’m still puffing along as well,
But if ya want to get particular,
The only bad thing is inside she does smell,
Then again so do I for the most part, what the hell…

Lady in red. Ah! and a fine cigar.
Barns have the finest treasures.

And the sad part is, she can be restored, we can't.

You are getting very creative in your young age with this comparison poem. Each line created an interesting analogy as well as keeping the humor warm. Great job, poet!

Love the poem and the way you express your love for the old gal. The teacher in me wants you to change your title though... ...She was born the same year as I (was). Sorry about being a pain in the bz!. Love and peace,

"What the hell" is right Ed. Neat comparison to yourself and this classic. Like Sandie said, you, too are a classic.

Old classic! Looking good for her age! And so do you!
