I went through quite a few cars between 1972 & 1979...so bear with me...e


Poem Artwork

She’d been hit before

Fixed perfectly, I knew the score

White with red interior

AM radio on the left of the driver

Up in the world I was coming for sure…

 

A 302 did put her through her paces

No air, didn’t need it then

Lived at the shore, cooler there

Weather seemed cooler way back when…

 

Still early to mid seventies, still a Ford

Never seemed to with them get bored

Drove her into the ground, till one day

Got crunched again in the left front

Another stupid kid type stunt…J
