Car Wrecks

Cruising for a bruising, I wreck my blue car. It runs on regular with no gas gage, goes far. She ran the yellow light at sixty. I went on green. Her witness date, on same yellow light. My car spun a one-eighty, went for four blocks. Policeman who took me home. Later stood up and vouched for me. The judge took witness. Had to pay a fine. Never mind this injustice. Orange Fiesta, rainy night. Truck passed. Broadsided crash, totaled car. Sprained ankle. Got new sunroof with the fix, instead of a check. To Colorado it got me, when I escaped with kids. White Saab, snow car. Exhausted was I From night shift. Hit broadsided, blind hill. Totaled car again. God loves me and my vehicles. On my bicycle hit by another car. No scar. Scary sometimes how God loves me. Train coming down the tracks, no gates. Music loud, didn't hear blow. Stopped cause God Told me so. So on and on I go in another car.
