Mixed Signals

A terribly tired, trashed-out old truck, lacking in luster, down on its luck, longingly looked at a lithe little Lexus there at the bar, fresh in from Texas. Depressed, dejected, and driven to drink, wipers not working, and too beat to blink, he summoned his strength and shot her a smile; seems ’twas the first she’d seen in a while. Given a green light, he got it in gear, kicked doubt to the curb and patted her rear. Flush-faced, he flipped in reverse in a flash; those were no lady parts under her dash. ————- Alphacouplets - rhyming couplets where the first line ends in a noun and has 3 or more alliterations using the same letter prior.
