Notes About The Poem

The Flivvy Xyz Personified

THE FLIVVY XYZ PERSONIFIED

The finest auto you will ever ride
Is the Flivvy XYZ Personified
Made exclusively from junkyard parts
You'll be amazed at where the price starts 

From twenty-five to a hundred and fifty
Can be paid in full and that is nifty
You won't find a better buy
Stop by today and give it a try

If you are gone an hour or more
We hope we don't find you to be next door 
Trying to get a better deal
'Cause we want you behind the wheel

Of our pride and joy, the XYZ
Since we think you will plainly see
You won't find a finer car
Even searching near or far

Reminds me of a song by Johnny Cash about the Cadillac he made from stolen parts from the Cadillac manufacturing plant..Reads like wining material to me. Way to go..Sara

Sara, that is perhaps the only song Johnny Cash ever recorded that I am not familiar with but I can imagine it was great hit. I had an old '50 Ford that fit the bill. Loved it! Thanks for sharing. You always brighten my day.

Yes, it does, Jan! I had one just about like it as a teenager. It was a '50 Ford that my Dad got from a guy who had left it in his cotton patch. He sold it to Dad for a piddly amount just have it hauled off. Most fun summer I had was with it and 5 of my closest school mates. Loved it!
