A Bizzare Wooden Car

There was an old man
Who smoked a cigar.
He sped across the country
In an old wooden car.
He drove to the markets, 
Known as "Number One Star".
He devoured so much fruit
That he couldn't drive far.
Got stuck in an outhouse 
Had to leave the door ajar;
He couldn't trust anyone
With his old wooden car.
He noticed a grizzly bear
Standing off, not that far.
Quickly he commanded.
"Hey, Don't touch that car!"
The grizzly bear gave a growl
With his nose to the stars.
He chased the old man 
And they both forgot the car.


Bob, the car must have came from an antique shop.

You have a very unique style. Reminds me a bit of Dr. Seuss, but for adults!!!

Just like fiberglass, wood can burn. So a fire extinguisher must have been standard equipment on this model. Good entertaining write here.

A fun romp, Peggy! A jaunty flow and fine rhyming... I wonder if he came back for his car, or if he ended up in the bear's belly! Well done!! Best wishes, Keith :)
