Notes About The Poem

Written for Sales Pitch Poetry Contest on June 9 2026 sponsored by Margarita Lillico

Smart Car For Sale

Would you like to buy my car
It’s good on gas takes you far
It also runs on electricity smart
And you can find a place to charge

It’s comfortable and roomy too
If you’re tired it can drive for you
It remembers your preferred routes
Takes your there without a doubt

Smart car with a new shiny paint job
It shuts down in case you’re robbed
It scares the car thieves far away
Records their image which they hate

I’m only selling because I need
To get a larger one yes indeed
This little car has been great
Inexpensive with class very safe

But Karen, does it sweep the floors, walk the dog, cook dinner, fix your hair??? Wouldn't it be terrific if that little Smart car could fit in your house and complete the tasks you program to do? My husband ran a car dealership years ago and he would get a big kick out of this poem, I like it so much!! It made me smile and smile, it's just so cute, probably as cute as your little car :)

This piece is so futuristic but our reality now. makes me feel like I own a Modal T. But it does have that thing that makes it immortal being one of the first of it'd type.

Thanks Valsa but this was written for contest. My dealership wants to buy my car but I don’t want to sell it. Lol

lol thanks. It was mostly true. My car has lane assist which is nice but not the same as a Tesla which drives you.

You are a convincer just needing the right person. I still can't believe cars drive themselves or understand all they do these days much less where/why the cd player went. I'm too deliberately dumb for a smart car. I really don't appear to like progress, do I? I wish they'd stopped inventing after plumbing/electricity. Did you feel secure when it drove itself? A good poem, Karen.

My car has lane assist so I used my imagination there. Only Teslas drive for you and my car isn’t a Tesla. Thanks for reading.

Ah, how I yearn for my car. Gave it to my grandson as I am not allowed to drive anymore. That's old age!!!

You almost make me want to get an electric car. But since I hardly drive any more, I will stick with my convertible Mustang . That's my baby!! Great job with this contest idea
