My Fiftie's Chevrolet

A used Monte Carlo was my first car. It couldn’t be driven so very far. Though it had been well used, It did not look abused. Less a ride than a fine objet d art. Seven miles to the gallon, all it got. We stopped at the gas pump, more than a lot. Though gas prices were low, My wages were also. The car was pretty, its performance not. I have had a number of cars since then. None have made me as proud as I was when I drove that sporty car That could not go too far Before a stop for a fill-up again.
