Nancy Kaufman Poet Lento

If Our Cars Could Talk

If our cars could talk what might they say?
"Oh boy, it's you  for one more day".
"I see that you don't care a lot, you
keep on driving when my engine is hot!"
"Unless you plan to walk real soon, stop
running me on mere gas fumes."
"Please use my signals and don't drive spastic.
This body of mine is mostly plastic".
"I'm not a Mercedes. I'm far from bionic.
Replenish these fluids. They are my tonic."
"Before I pound on one more street, replace these tires,
their truly beat."
"One habit of yours truly grains, stop smearing my
windshield with nicotine stains".
"Keep both eyes on the road and listen out for the weather
and we may have some pleasurable times together."

Timothy Ray February 7, 2023 at 6:52 PM i think you make a great point....we are fortunate there are many things in our lives we are blessed by their silence....such as when my guardian angel accompanied me on my motorcycles Nancy Kaufman February 14, 2023 at 9:08 AM Hi Timothy, I have heard of silent retreats and how spiritually insightful they are but don't know if I would people able to survive one. I'm glad you are in touch with your guardian angels as where I live too many motorists are speeding and motorcycle riders are extremely vulnerable. Stay safe and thanks for commenting. Nancy

Jennifer Proxenos February 5, 2023 at 4:32 AM I enjoyed this poem very much Nancy and i found it humorous - a car that could talk, maybe it could even chauffeur us to any given destination in the near future. Well penned my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Nancy Kaufman February 14, 2023 at 9:05 AM thanks Ms. Jennifer. Happy Valentines Day 2 U.
