Just a little fun with a memory...loosely based on my parent's second car.

UNMUFFLED When the seventies came call’n With the salesman done a brawl’n You can hear the car a roar’n When the pedal is a floor’n And my dad, he is a soar’n With a second hand not bor’n You can hear the car a roar’n When the pedal is a floor’n And the noise it is appall’n As he tries steep hill a soar’n You can hear the car a roar’n When the pedal is a floor’n Whilst my mother is a chor’n This attention is so foreign You can hear the car a roar’n When the pedal is a floor’n And the neighbors now are war’n As it sounds like someone snor’n You can hear the car a roar’n When the pedal is a floor’n 10/30/2019

Ha, ha! I remember those souped-up second-handers. Had one myself... Or was it just time for a new muffler?! LOL. Thanks for the memories, Kim. Cheers, Gershon

- My father became very "heavy on his feet" as he got older ... full pressure on the gas ... :)))) - he parked the car many years ago ... luckily :)- and traffic is only increasing and increasing ... my mother never dared to learn to drive ... (in Norway we have to be 18 years old ) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Enjoyed reading, Kim, a perfect write. I was afraid of getting into traffic so I didn't learn to drive until I was 25.

And that is okay! My youngest waited until she was 18. Be blessed, Eve! <3 Kim
