My precious, darling Nissan boy,
one day I knew you wouldn’t last.
Although I thought it just a ploy,
a swindle planned to take my cash.

Barely you made it down the street,
my precious, darling Nissan boy.
The tire met fender to a beat,
marking the end of days of joy.

Someone abused you like a toy,
someone I trusted with your life.
My precious, darling Nissan boy,
why did I let you know such strife?

I bid farewell. You can’t be fixed.
Your wholeness they want to destroy.
It's  true you are 2006,
my precious, darling Nissan boy.

Your poem is not only beautiful, but I once owned a 260z Datsun, and when she broke, it broke my heart, so I can relate all so mega much. Congratulations with this beautiful piece.

This has made a lot of people think of their old cars. Good contest. This was definitely broken.

Thanks so much for stopping by Freddie. I really appreciate the vote and your comments. He was a good car and I'm sure his cousin was too. Love and blessings, Janis.
