Green Light--New

Mom’s old Chrysler is the scourge of my life driving it, this sedan makes me complain forty meters on a ride, the wheels pop-- by that time, I miss the green light... again! So I'm squatting like a fool on a byway with prayers, the tow truck gets here real fast-- while counting a hundred 'go' lights blink on ; my lacy dress spoils, my frail wits aghast! To make matters worse, tonight's the great prom... While above the green bulb, a poster reads, " Is your auto worn-out? Here's an offer! Get the new Chrysler where each ride succeeds! Carolyn Devonshire's Contest Green Humor Rhymes, Old Or New For Prizes 1/16/2019 ~ Revised

It must be hard sitting in a broken down old Chrysler and seeing a sign that tells you the new ones will never let you down, Nette. Cute poem. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries, so you should be proud of your achievement. Best wishes, Carolyn

I have not driven a car in years. Used to have a red Ford Tempo - the furthest I ever drove was to New England for a crafts fair. Did not have a prom at my high school. Jewish holiday coming up - Purim - do you know about that? Peace & Love Matthew Anish
