Pieces Of Scrap

Pieces Of Scrap

A Poem by George David Hope

                                                                          PIECES OF SCRAP
They all stand side by side
Full of oil and dust
Some hoping to drive again
Others just hunks of rust
White van's tippers all breaking
From carrying heavy loads
Keeping the country moving
Up and down the roads
All the boy racers
Filled with mods and tricks
No longer sporting alloy's
Now just sit on bricks
Jags and Merc's all sit and stare
At the other car's lack of class
But now their just the same as them
Filled with broken glass
Family car's once filled with folk
Weekend trips down to the beach
Now they sit four cars high
Too high for anyone to reach
Now all just blocks of metal
Waiting to be torn apart
Pleading "Don't forget us"
Old cars still have a heart
So when you go past a scarp yard
And you see them all stripped bare
Do you ever think about your old cars
Or do you just not care

I like this a lot. Made me think of the poor family car etc in Junkyards. And being left to rot like they usage time is over. And not even a thought in the owner's mind at all. Even though they most properly spent some great times in that car going on holiday, visits to relatives and so on.
