STRAIGHT FROM FRANCE

CITROEN
The car of Four Door
Ahead of its time
Back in the day
My Grandfather had purchased one
He wanted a different ride
Sophistication the car would provide
Components of its own
Push Button Start
Waiting for the back of the car to rise before maneuver
Some might think of it being clever
Wait in move
As years passed, my Grandfather decided to upgrade to a Citroen station wagon
Same process only bigger
Upon trading in the Four Door Citroen
For a while it was great
It wasn’t until one of the back wheels fell off in transport of the Citroen station wagon while on the road
Pitch black at night
A Citroen became a stand still
My Grandmother stated to my Grandfather being the next time he purchases a new car, let it be get in, start and depart
No more push the button to start, waiting for rise then ride
Memory of a vintage of the Citroen family
France sensation
A car being a creation.
