Equinox
A pleasant fall day
out for a drive
a few errands to run
in warm afternoon
traffic was light
and the weather was good
and I thought that
everything was going good
then with my ear
I heard a strange sound
wasn't sure what was
like someone hitting a pan
as my speed it did change
so did the beating pan
had louder it slowly grew
till much too loud
carefully I drove
to a dealer where
the service man said
my engine was dead
nine thousand dollars
for a new one
my truck was worth three
when should they begin
I could not believe
what they did say
I could buy three
in stead of fixing one
my day which was so nice
had took a bad change
suddenly it was not
such a nice day
to salesman I did talk
told them of my woe
and they told me that
they had just thing
a much newer truck
in effervescent pearl
black leather seats
it included everything
a backup camera
a GPS
a big V-6
like in a Camaro
zero to sixty
in seven seconds flat
gets nineteen miles
to a gallon of gas
the radio needs
as subscription
so do the controls
if to work fine
don't forget insurance
tires and oil
it all does add up
to quite a bill
but fun it is
when I punch the gas
and the engine suddenly roars
at all the people I pass
it may be
a all wheel drive
but seven inches high
no off-roading
I do miss
my transfer box
my low gear
and being so high
I guess I can live
in a equinox
with a Camaro's V-6
in effervescent pearl
