The Old Jalopy

Trash the old jalopy
It’s just piles of scraps
Out- dated and no good
It’s just junk sitting under the hood

Junk yard bound
It’s ready to go
Drag it to the scrap yard
Looking at it, makes it hard

I had it for so long  
it’s just rusted out tin
My jalopy is like my best friend
And I tried to keep it till the end

Sometimes it's hard to tell a car good-bye. Okay, all the time for me! I related, obviously (!) and enjoyed your poem on that personal level. All the best ... CayCay

Yes, we can't part many old things, like some unwanted memories. Very well expressed. Regards, Roy
