My first car was 'Old Betsy.'  I bought her for $100 (back in the day).  She got 9 mpg , burned oil like crazy, and managed to run for two whole years...Those were the days, my friends...

A Curious Creation is an Auto: You name it to reflect The Personality it ought to. Call her 'Linda,' and she's your girl; Dub her 'Rocket,' To give her a whirl. If she's 'Betsy,' she's old and pokey, While 'Elizabeth''is a tad bit hokey. To convey solidity and trust Call your car 'Ben.' And if you want to save money, --Pay for it in yen.

Curiously, this somehow called to me because I have been studying my hands lately, amazed they are spotted now. A good read for me.

This reminds me of Coleridge and Shakesphere. Nicely written.
