Ode to My Car


While driving to an appointment this afternoon in clost to 90 degree weather with no air conditioning, I got to thinking: "Why do I like this car?" or better yet "Do I like this car?" The answers: a resounding "I don't think I do" and "No." But, since I can't afford a new one, I figured the best I could do was to write an epic Haiku inspired by the wonder that is my 1997 Chevy Cavailer--



Chevy Cavalier
You are my one and only
Why do you hate me?

Cracks in the windshield
Are they from semis or rocks?
I can see-- almost.

Air Conditioning
Why have you forsaken me?
Blows air-- just not cold.

Paint rusting away
Does it give it character?
Gold sucks anyway.

Fan belt whistling
It sings such a chirpy song
Lets me know it's there.

Chevy Cavalier,
You are my one and only.
At least you still run.

PS. That isn't actually my car. It looks much worse than that...

Hey, I thought that was your car....I guess it has an intact windshield, though, so it couldn't be! Betg
