Beauty and That Beast

spicy star
racy car

much speed
no heed

traffic stop
burly cop

license please
must appease!

red lips
sweet hips

bats eyes
gets rise

off hook?
threw book

Loved it. At first reminded me of Paul Walker's demise but in this lady's case maybe a traffic stop saved her life.

Yup, speed kills. I get confused how we make street legal cars which can go over 200 MPH. But then again, it's America — we have it our way! Thanks for visiting ~ john
