To me he is my friend...

A mid-sixties man in a 2015 world...

Imagine the car below, same exact color combination with a hard top instead...


Poem Artwork

He is a man of the mid-sixties,
His age only that of an actual sixty,
He wears clothing from that era,
Even his shoes are from an earlier time,
No sneaker does he wear nor a boot,
Some people probably refer to him as an old coot…

To me he is my friend…

He loves old Studebaker cars,
He drives still his sixty four,
He wears a hat that reminds me of my dad,
In his leather coat and fedora (?) he looks like Indiana Jones,
All he needs is a whip & that will complete the look,
If you look at him you’d think of a character right out of a book…

To me he is my friend…

He builds cameras like they used in the 1800’s,
From scratch he puts them together delicately,
A man he is of a different time, most gentlemanly,
Speaks does he, of all subjects, most eloquently…
To me his is my friend…

There is nothing so valuable as a true friend - You are lucky to have such an interesting one, Ed. A great tribute.

Maybe the addition of viagra to the soft top could make it hard. Whatcha think, Ed?

That was one ugly Studebaker, no wonder the company's demise. I was in love with the 51s for their aircraft front end, rode to high school with a classmate's orange red convertible that started even at 30 below zero and went hunting with another classmate's that he got cheap, with a little bodywork because the previous owner had blown his head off in the car with a shotgun. Unable to replace the headliner, he covered all the holes with baseball cards.

Sounds like a real eccentric… A cool kind of guy to know because of his character… Kinda like you.

Classic cars,
and classic friends,

I had the feeling you were looking into a mirror as you wrote this
with slobbery saliva flowing off it. Is that Narcissus or narcosis? :)

A guy like that could probably teach all of us a thing or two.
