Notes About The Poem

21 July 2023

Contest: M Words

Sponsor: Constance La France

Muscle

It’s a muscle car, a super car, a racing car, yeah
She’s speeding down the highway, with the wind in her hair

It’s a muscle car, a super car, a racing car, yeah
Burning up the highway like she don’t have a care

It’s a muscle car, a super car, a speeding machine
Shes speeding like she wants to go too fast to be seen

It’s a muscle car, a super car, a bullet on wheels
Only she could drive while wearing stiletto heels

It’s a muscle car, a super car, it cuts through the night
She’s flicked a switch and now it’s lights are piercing and bright

It’s a muscle car, a super car, I’ve got to be there
Now I only see its lights and yet I don’t care

It’s a muscle car, a super car, it’s freedom or bust
It’s steel at speed and frankly it’s why I bit the dust

It’s a muscle car, a super car, and it sent me off
For its laminated windshield wasn't good for a moth

I guess the 'Force' wasn't with that poor old moth, eh?! ~ Viz I. Goth

For the M word contest, I actually ought to have called this ‘Moth’ but that would have let the cat out of the bag a little too soon. Thanks, GW. Terry

At least the moth had moments of thrill, on the windshield of the muscle car driven with super speed skill. Enjoyed the read Terry… Belle

Thanks, Belle. I wrote this to a tune by my favorite band. Alas, few (as in ‘nobody’) here would know that tune. So I hoped the tempo would be self evident. Congrats on getting it. Ha ha! Terry
