Buying a Sports Car

Here's another slash at an outside story, I thought you might like in poetic format.



Buying a Sport’s Car

The teen age boy, drove a brand new Porche, into his family drive way,
His parents were astounded, didn’t know what to say,

Terrified that he would steal ,and bring the car to them,
He said a lady down the street, had sold the car to him,

And even more than horrified , he had the Bill of Sale ,
Daddy took one look exclaiming, ‘’Someone’s going to Jail!

No one sells a custom sports car especially of this kind,
For fifteen dollars! come on Son! This really blows my mind,

Where’s this crazy woman, Was she at a Bar? “
Fifteen dollars won’t even buy a wax job for this car! “

Come on Dad I’ll show you , she’s down the street a ways
Just moved into the neighborhood. Boy I hope she stays!

The lady was planting flowers when they came to her place,
The Dad was trying to be courteous , but met her face to face,

“Why would you sell for fifteen dollars a sports car such as this
Especially to a teen age boy, something’s crooked or amiss”

“Gotta phone call from my husband, supposed to be on a business trip,
But a tip came from the office ; they let this message slip ,

Ran off with his secretary, wasn’t coming back at all,
Got stranded in Hawaii, needed money so he called,”

Said, ‘Sell my Porsche and wire the money; I might be arrested! “
‘So like the kind obedient wife , I just did what he requested !”

This story is way too good now to be true. I could happen to me, but did it happen to you? Loved the journey! Well done Tom!

Where I come from they called them Porch[es]… And my younger brothers always called them, "ports carries." Now, many years later and having owned many, I hope they got one or two just like that. Come to think of it, my brother's second wife did stick it to him when their million dollar home went to foreclosure instead. Ouch!
