Notes About The Poem

A Poem Based On A Song Poetry Contest- Sponsored by Joseph May 

Pink Cadillac

My girlfriend bought a car just a few weeks back 
It was a low-riding loud-running Pink Cadillac 
She took it for a cruise down on Rodeo Drive 
And she put the pedal to the medal doing one-ninety-five 

She pulled up to a red light and for heaven sakes 
She skidded through the light when she put on the brakes 
Another car was coming, and it bumped her in her ass 
It made her foot hit the pedal and open up the gas 

She drove into a drain-ditch nearly four feet deep
And her head hit the horn, then, it began to beep 
My girlfriend she was looney; well, you should have heard her screaming 
Especially when she woke up, just to find that she was dreaming 


Pink Cadillac- Bruce Springsteen
