The Old Jalopy

That jalopy is still puttin' along Slow start on cold mornings Loud stinky foul exhaust And the finish is quite weathered His seat is lumpy He uses a lot of fuel Not as fast anymore And has a screw loose somewhere But she tells her girlfriends She still loves her husband After forty two years Even if he's not the man he used to be The Old Jalopy Poetry Contest 7/9/19
