Antique Knights

A summer Saturday night brings them all out grates shining spit polished chrome, driven by bald men with pates shining. Candy apple red antique corvettes with white wall tires soft topped convertibles from Isadora Duncan's estate shining. Well preserved women with beehive hair in leather bucket seats go out for a ride with their Romeo's down the interstate shining. Elvis dreamed of bee bop queens escorted round the scene down, down town in La La land on the silver screen shining. So put on your pedal pushers, grab a bottled Coke Classic tie a scarf in your ponytail and dress like jail bait shining. Cause it Saturday night at the antique car show and "YO! and I wanta conjugate on that bumper's silver plate shining.

My hometown of Iola, Wisconsin has a classic car show in the summer, and it is the largest in the Midwest. I go to the show almost every year. I just love the nostalgia of a time that I never got to experience. This is a terrific write, Debbie! I enjoyed it very much!.... You might like my latest poem, which features a convertible.... Thank you for the kind congrats!

I've been having difficulties with my internet connections lately, and on coming back my first read is this. What a pleasure. You've put a smile on my face, and made me so happy to be back. Thanks.

I am partial to cars from the fifties and sixties. The seventies had the ugliest cars in history. I guess all the creativity was sapped with all the free love that was going on. I enjoyed your poem Debbie.
