Ode To a Classic Car

Ode to a Classic Car


Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam
And a very fine Sunbeam I’d make
He’s invited me
For a nice cup of tea
And a slice of his cherry-mint cake

So Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam
And a Sunbeam’s a very nice car
But if I had my choice
I would be a Rolls Royce
A much more grand motor by far.

But Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam
So I take a last sip at my tea
If Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam
Then like it or not
I’ll give it a shot
And a Sunbeam is what I will be!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hello John Hanscomb, I love antique cars. The 1920's 30's and 40's are my favourite cars. What years? Have a nice day my friend. Enjoy your day my friend. Be safe.
