Bluebird

Bought a Bluebird at auction a long time ago,

refitted it all summer, welding cots in a row.

Painted it blue, to fit its name,

used it as his college apartment,

parking rent much less than the same.

When spring break came after winter's snow,

he signed up students who wanted to go.

Drove through the night from way up north,

to reach the southern border's warmth.

After a heated debate on where to go,

drove to Acapulco across Mexico.

Spent the week there on the beach,

Bluebird's crowded comfort within reach.

But some objected to cozy quarters,

where privacy no longer matters.

Drove them all home, some happy, some mad,

but an unbelievable adventure they had.

For all that long journey, day after day,

required only a fan belt fix along the way.

In the end, he made a profit in his Bluebird,

probably became rich for not being a nerd.
