Today My Car Died

I guess it was time to put it to rest
Tho still a beauty it is
For it was one of the best.

A Lincoln Town Car 
Many may not know
Will go forever
As their legend is told.

It traveled many miles
Many more than probably it should
Matter of fact 496000
Almost half a million 
To be exact.

But it is at rest now
For it finally laid down
It left me just alittle ways 
Out of our home town.

With this many miles 
It had a right to be tired
Sometimes I too feel 
Like my Lincoln 
And want to retire.
