Thursday! Time again for poetry with Pam and her boys at Two Spoiled Cats. I’m so glad I began participating in this meme and look forward to it each week.
Here’s this week’s photo inspiration:
You can probably tell from the length of my poem that I thought this one was fun:
Waiting
Don’t be sad, I’m just hanging out for a while
til the day comes when I can make someone smile.
My days of hard work are over and done,
and now it’s time I have a little fun.
I’m nice and cozy in my grassy bed,
but the time will come when I turn someone’s head.
Just scrape off the grunge, right down to the rust.
And my dents and dings, well, they’re just a plus.
Replace a few parts, okay, more than a few.
Give me four new shoes, and that oughta do.
My looks won’t matter, it’s what’s under the hood:
one of Motor Man’s engines, that would be good.
A ‘rat rod’ I’ll be my second time around:
classic car shows and Sunday drives around town.
That rumbling you’ll hear is me coming through.
Remember, they don’t build ‘em like they used to.
If you’re wondering what a rat rod is, this link to one of my previous posts will explain it.
