56 Corvette

I want a car, an older car, a 56 Corvette That will drive down the highway miles, speeding fast with no regret. I want a car that's sleek and smooth and gives one helluva ride. An old car that knows its stuff and can do a "Hollywood Slide".

Me too! me too! That would be a valid thing to put on our bucket list, Hilda. Glad I look back and found this uplifting and nostalgic, my friend. Thanks for sharing it with us. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

The 'Hollywood slide,' sure was/is a neat piece of trickery.

Really enjoyed reading this fun poem Hilda. Old cars have so much to offer with all their past adventures that you become a part of. Are they really expensive to purchase? May you continue to enjoy your dreams …. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and smiles to you for a lovely weekend. Xx:):)

what a dashingly fun read. Old cars speak to me. Perhaps there's something symbolic in the 'old car' -- the one that knows its stuff...that would be us :-) Enjoy your evening, Sara

I'm joyously happy that you like it. I suddenly thought it when I crawled into bed. Immediately had to get up before I forgot it.

Woah, this write is absolutely intriguing! I love cars, new or vintage, they really fascinate me.. And I think this poem can be thought of in a symbolic way as well.. The flow and pace of the words.. Ah, just wonderful, especially with those amazing rhymes.. Creatively crafted! Enjoyed reading this!

I dont know why i am thinking a bit too metaphorically reading this, but either way i agree old is gold! And i know not much about cars as i am not into them but your poem flows just beautifully! Love your rhymes! Sending you light today and always
