Herbie was the ultimate party guy
always had the largest smile
dancing a jig or leading a congo line
sometimes he would scream with joy
startling those who did not know him

Two autos both tried to have sex.
A pity they both were such wrecks!
With great apprehension,
One lost its suspension.
Old banger sex – oh so complex!

One for the kiddies or kiddies at heart!
There's a bunch of furry animals
Running around our house
Cats and dogs and ferrets
And even a little mouse!
Now Mom and Dad aren't happy
With mousies running wild
But we love our cute little furry friends
They bring us lots of smiles!
Our mousie plays a pretty fine fiddle
That big folks cannot hear
Unaware of those real happy tunes
Dancing in their ears!
I've named him Happy Herbie
He brings me so much joy
It's hard to think he's really real
He seems like just a toy!
Don't think I want to ever grow up
And lose this special gift
Seeing things through little eyes
In a kiddies world I'm adrift

Engine check light on-
My old friend,
What happen?
Let's talk like men,
"You're suppose to be The Man!"
Six pack of fine oil,
Premuim fuel,
High on those octane,
You'll buzzing into the 90s,
Pushing light speed,
Ready for a west coast beach run!
But,
NO!
In you go,
Garage-
Herbie my companion ride,
Year of 2001,
VW Bug,
Fully load,
German made,
You'll it!
Only 62,000 miles,
Come on!
Not close to the golden moments yet.
250 dollars out of my wallet,
Little part of repair,
An half an hour later,
Out the shop you roll,
Pertending nothings wrong.
Now!
Understanding I have when a woman say she felt let down.
No hard feeling my friend,
Next car a herbiess,
With her,
She will have a good excuse,
Female.
I know all about the same old line,
With those oily teardrops,
"Sorry Honey, do you not thing I am worth the expense?"
Lifting up her fender,
Showing off her white wall wheel with a twinkling smile.
P.S. Had to find humor writing after seeing that car repair bill, only two days
before Christmas-

(This is a fictional poem)
After I watched that Lindsay Lohan movie, I bought a 1963 Bug.
When I tell people my story, they say I'm either stupid or on drugs.
I bought the Bug last month on the twelfth.
It's very irritating because it won't drive by itself.
I know that Bugs can drive by themselves because I've seen all of the Herbie
movies.
But when I complained to the car dealer, he called me a loony.
I put the key in the ignition and told my Bug to drive.
He just sat there silently like he wasn't even alive.
My Bug won't drive, he won't even honk his horn.
I know my car can drive, he's just being stubborn.
People say that Bugs can't drive by themselves but I know they can.
I needed some answers so I went to visit Lindsay Lohan.
I asked her why did her Bug drive and mine remain stationary.
She said I creeped her out and that my visit was quite scary.
She made her dogs attack me and they nearly tore me to shreds.
She said the problem isn't my Bug, the problem is what's in my head.
