when Ferraris become Ramblers

when Ferraris become Ramblers 

 

 

 

i once thought i had posit-traction kisses

could lay rubber down on lipstick roads

 

thought my arms could be seat belt protection

for the crash of youthful liaisons

 

invincible spark plugs

that would never die sober

or sputter against age's acceleration

 

but alas, fenders rust

and the body dents

even when the illusion still has

the pedal to the medal.

I cruised along beautifully to this well driven, crafted piece of poetry Jacob.

thank you, Dawn....and what were you driving?

Sadly not a ferrari, and old gentleman of a car. LOL I have. Well cared for thought. :)

So creative Jacob. Ferrari's a fantasy for most men in both youth and old age. Ramblers on the other hand, well that becomes the reality.

How funny. I didn't know that Ramblers were cars :)

Such a creative allegory Jacob. Now you have gone and made me look at my rusty old bodywork! Cheers mate! Truly this is such a creative piece Jacob.
