Two door car fit to rattle
shake, rattle,role
steered through plains mounted in cattle
neck surrounded in a vixen stoles
away, away to a high heeled venue
tinted class models in park menues

Herby and friends part of American landscape
hearts cry..for compact culture's great escape.

Away from the old, in newer car traps
two door car made to shake faithfully
raked those leaves from favorite hubcaps
beetle shielded from insect bites regularly
magic comfort airs through open tops
served generations at sacred truck stops.

compact bug culture a people's dream
laden with roof racks of chromium gleam

Golden lime beetle charmed it riders
riders of the storm, and beach walk striders
love bug romance end is immanent
assembly lines are never permanent
two door car made for vixen stoles
made for platform shoes
gentlemen strum guitars to the muse
of automated culture off racks in the news.

love bug once part of American venues
will there be another set on the menu?

Hi Kaoru

yes the bettle was once a common site in Montreal and the market then moved to Mexico
now that all comes to end
around we go another bend

it would be tough not dedicating something to
Herby and all his friends..they became part of the landscape
from compact car culture there's no escape..

One of my favorite of your writes!
How vivid the recollections, and how I smiled to see the past painted into the future. Quite right! TD

Hey Diamond,

you too dazzle me with your imagery..
just added a little couplet here and there..
I'll miss the bug even though I never had one
the cinquacento was an Italian version of it
and I rode in that
