Faithfully she glides along the street
Never a complaint about the heat

Her paint is fading as if it were old
Living with the constant threat of being sold

She glares at her rivals in neighboring lots
Thinking of revenge she quietly plots

Longing the attention received by her friends
She plans a way to put it all to an end

Nothing too major, that may cause her death
Nothing minor, that would lost in a breath

Something that would make them all realize
She does have feeling and is hurt by their lies

Soon would come the day when she would sit and wait
For someone to care for her as if she were great

Until such a day, she will wish upon the stars
For the special one to realize she’s not just a car

6/26/1990 M. Wilson aka Lyn Eagleton

Welcome to Passions, Melody!

I suspect there is at least one who knows she's more than a car!  In a few years, people will realize she's a classic!

Herbie's cousin..?  Does she have a name?

This is about my car Brandywine and 1990 Laser.  Her restoration is expressed in the prose section as treasured junk.  Thanks for your kindness.
