Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Camaro

It debuted in the sixties, and was an immediate star.
This model was within the genus of the family sports car.
The first generation was among the sportiest in its day.
This automobile was manufactured by Chevrolet.

With a powerful V-8 under its hood,
this new breed of car proved to be quite good.
It appeared in lieu of a four-seater Corvette.
The Camaro was one of the best anyone could get.
It was the product of General Motors’ brightest engineers.
Five generations rolled off assembly lines for thirty-five years.

Unfortunately, this model was discontinued recently.
There has been more emphasis on fuel efficiency.
It was also victimized by accelerated depreciation.
As a result, sales decreased throughout the nation.

These cars will once again appear on an assembly line.
They will make their way into showrooms in 2009.
