Horsepower.

Toot-a-looot!..Honky-honk!..Beep-a-leep!
Wash my metal skin and keep me clean,
The car is my body..the ideal shape to be in,
Look after me , I'm your mean machine.
The engine is my heart,hoses and pipes
Are the veins and arteries to my heart.
The wheels are my feet,headlights my eyes.
I can feel,see and feed on water and gas.
Sometimes early in the mornings ,
It may be too cold for me to jump start.
I purr when I'm happy,growl when I'm angry
Glide ,pounce and creep along in traffic jams.
I am the car,your chariot always by your side.
Horsepower,I am your horse from Medieval days.
Loyal and devoted I have carried you like a 
Baby on my back , near or far.
Like an aeroplane, we fly together,forever.
Come ,feel safe and warm inside me while  
outside it is raining.
I shall protect you ,while the wind is howling...
And always be by your side.
My little pearl,I'll be your wheels of liberation,
I give you Independence to come and go,
And freedom for solitude and peace of mind.
I am your car, you are inside me.


Toot-a-looot! Pay attention, I'm coming through!
