My First Ride Quickly Died Contest

The day I was liberated and free,
After a hard summer job finally,
I picked up my used, “new car”
I did not park it that far
Suddenly there was a catastrophe

At sixteen, tears came pouring down my face
Through the window I watched in sheer disgrace
A man smashed into my baby
I ran out of work CRAZY
My Honda, short lived, was now a big mess.

aww thanks it was bad, I saw the whole thing happen from my register and ran out on a customer to console my destroyed parked car, lol. Usually kids get into moving accidents with first cars, not me! I was working.
