Reality Is Hard To Replace-Someone, Or Something, Replaceable

Reality is hard to replace


                           our white elephant is a disgrace
                       she parks herself wherever she places
                       usually taking up needed space
                       in the old days she would win a race
                      now she'll barely outrun a turtles pace
                           kids use to play on her face
                    on her trunk their hands would trace
                            upkeep we still embrace
                            her past is hard to erase
           through the hands of time she lies in God's grace
           through our hearts we loved our old faithful ace
                 and now the time has come to part waste
             the deed to ole rusty bomber is in the brief case
            soon her ashes will be placed in the family vase
           when the setting sun covered her tears with lace
              as the tow truck took away ...  her final breath 
                          ... reality is hard to replace
