Do not protest that we admire a car,
There’s little can be altered anyway,
It’s Nature’s way to make us what we are.

Wise women understand, though it’s bizarre,
Our love of shapely lines and curves, so they
Do not protest that we admire a car.

Good women know they’re better off by far
To just accept our lust and they will say
It’s Nature’s way to make us what we are.

The fancy women at the corner bar,
Their lovely curves a feminine bouquet,
Do not protest that we admire a car.

Most women seem to feel our look won’t mar
The beauty of the lines we might survey,
It’s Nature’s way to make us what we are.

So you, our love, our one and only star,
We look and drool without a thought to stray.
Do not protest that we admire a car.
It’s Nature’s way to make us what we are.

Pete this was great, but I have to tell you (and this is the truth), I divorced one husband so he could spend more time with "his girl" who was a old Thunderbird, and I hope they are living happily ever after.  Enjoyed this very much.

Wow!  Well written!  Just one thought - are villanelle's supposed to have eight syllables per line or is that something that was just coincidence in the ones I've read.  Just wondering for future reference.  Either way - this sounded great.  

Put together very nicely.

Oh, methinks you have caught me Teach. I'll just have to "look you in the eyes" and admit this really isn't about cars, in the usual sense, at all.
