Standing Out

Riding on a highway,
As the cars go streaming by,
I notice varied brands and styles 
I can’t identify.

To me, they mostly look the same,
The SUV’s and such, 
With different shapes of taillights
Which don’t really matter much.

The vehicles are mostly dark,
Though quite a few are white 
And sometimes there’s a burgundy 
Or red that one can sight.

Yet once in a great while,
There’s a sports car or a jeep
In a neon green or orange 
To which every eye will leap.

That attention’s what the owners
Wanted, like a little spark,
But it sure must come in handy 
When in crowded lots they park.
