Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

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 March 23, 2019 at 8:22 PM 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

Matthew Anish March 18, 2019 at 3:42 PM 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
