Old Jalopy Looking Sublime

On pavements of pink hued highway Ocean smiled in eyes of children Roadside toads croaked with joy at the Old Jalopy looking sublime Pain in both knees and heart pounding Still purple smile on blooming lips All vintage cars looked with envy At the swinging old Jalopy Thin chin bald head dry skin still strong How old are you asked the Fiat Well past hundred said it smiling All hands waved at old Jalopy Bouquets and wreaths lifted its mood It now ran with faster motion Well ahead of competitors Suddenly the Jalopy crashed Gathered people embraced the gold Fondly they called it's our treasure Garlanded it with red lilies Autumn raindrops showered fragrance July 19, 2019
