A Man and His Car

Once upon a time In a land not so far Lived a lead footed man Alone with his car. He longed to go fast Speed flawlessly down the track So he looked for a car A Mustang in fact. It was love at first sight From bumper to bumper He adored her sleek look And got rid of his clunker. The metallic silver hue How she sparkles in the light Those amazing blue headlamps Just look killer at night. The windows tinted dark The car low to the ground She’s sure to turn heads While driving around. She was built to go fast She was built to go far Not sit in some garage Like an old man’s show car. He steps on the gas The engine begins to roar The turbo whistles loud As the rpms soar. The excitement is great His heart beats fast in his chest Shifting through gears This time will be his best. He speeds by his opponent The world goes by in a blur To the young man Winning is the best to occur. He’ll be noted as great By friends and other men Then get back in the staging lane To do it over again.
