Christmas Car

I was seventeen, and in my senior year. I got a Christmas gift from my old man dear. I was able to drive after I got my license. This was my first car. I’ve had many others since. It was a Falcon model car made by Ford. This must have been just about all he could afford. A discard from the Bell Telephone Company, this car was not very much to see. It was a stripped-down model with a three-speed stick. Getting started in the morning sometimes took a trick. It was transportation that got me anywhere. I delivered pizzas with it here and there. I think about back then, and I consider it funny. The car got me my first job to earn money.

Hey Robert..."PD" stands for "P"oetry "D"estroyer...However when her "name" is in the normal format it does say Destroyer Poetry. It's just when the "name" shows last name first and first name last as shown on the list of 200 recent poems, it's shows Poetry, Destroyer which is the PD!

Russell, the question I asked was "what does she mean by "xool poem"? She must have intended to type "cool poem" since the "x" key is just to the left of the "c" key on any standard keyboard.
