Rusted and Busted- the Scrap Yard

Thousands of cars, now junk to their owners are dumped Here every vehicle has a story, why they are abandoned Elegant was I, silver rims, stylish lights and painted white Silenced for life, now my rusted body remains on ground Careless driving changed my fate and left me unwanted Red, black and yellow, rust didn't spare any of my friends All my doors now broken, wheels and windshield are gone Painful was the fatal crash, it cruelly ceased my existence Youth was done so soon, I no longer could race on roads And now I am waiting for my useful body parts to be sold Rest in peace, that's what my owner said and left me alone Dead am I, under silent sky I remember my good old days.
