Poem
This is a story poem. I call, ALL FOR THE LOVE OF BETSY ILL start this little story by asking a question,what is love? They say there is all kinds of love. This story is about a new kind of love. I had two loves my girlfriend and I was in love with my car. Now you might say that is strange to be in love with a car. It is not me that is strange being in love with a car. What is strange,is the strange behavior of the car. Now I got you confuse, or you think IM just plain crazy. Well my story really begins when my grandfather gave me 1955 OLDSMOBILE. I was so proud of the car,I even gave her a name.I called her BETSY. She was two tone yellow and black,she was a beauty. I wash and waxs BETSY everyday. I even carved a heart on BETSY dashboard. I wrote in the heart,ALL FOR THE LOVE OF BETSY About the time I had BETSY,I met my future wife BARBARA. She also was a beauty. This is where my little story starts to get strange. TRUE BUT STRANGE. BETSY seem to take on a life of her very own When I was alone with betsy,she run like a jewel. When BARBARA was riding in BETSY. BETSY would run like a mule. One night I had four flat tires. Another night BETSY loss all her power. I thought the cable on BETSY battery came loose. NOTHING WAS LOOSE. Whenever I played the radio it came in nice and clear. Whenever BARBARA played the radio nothing came on but static. The strangest part of the story when BARB and I was on a pinic. We were sitting under a willow tree. I carved a heart on the bark of the willow tree. Inside the heart I wrote,ALL FOR THE LOVE OF BARBARA. Just I like I in the heart I carved on BETSY dashboard, ALL FOR THE LOVE OF BETSY BETSY was parked on an enbankment. We were sitting under the willow tree below the enbankment. Some how BETSY hand break came loose and BETSY started to roll down the enbankment. BETSY crashed into the willow tree and scapeof the heart on the bark of the tree where I wrote ALL FOR THE LOVE OF BARBARA. BETSY burst into flames and was gutted out. All except where I carved the heart on BETSY dashboard, that I wrote ALL FOR THE LOVE OF BETSY. BARBARA and I got married, but as for BETSY,I never had a car quite like her again. I dont know if you believe my story or think IM strange. But do you want to know what is really strange, LOVE IS STRANGE
