A Valentine Poem for My Old Lincoln

I feel your surging power as I take off with a peel.

You tenderly surround me with metal, heavy gauge.

You may be always aging but for me you're the perfect age

You're going to be twenty soon, I'll keep you for forever

The words "Let's trade her in", you will hear them never.

Your never leave me when a break down comes to pass

It's always at a station that you run out of some gas.

You're blown your little gaskets but right in front of home

You never ever break down when we really start to roam.

You've taken me to cities, to the country and the beach

You give me such a smooth ride, you really are a peach.

You glisten when I wash you, Your fenders really shine.

I've loved you from the moment that I knew that you were mine.

I inherited you from my Dad,

His passing left me very sad.

So when I drive you I think of him

And in my heart I get a grin.

You're old, you're large , you're very blue

and to this family you've been true.

I take you to the car wash and get your oil renewed

We drive to the McDonalds so I can get some food.

I don't let it mess your leather up, I keep it looking good.

The doggies share my ride with me

They treat your seat so carefully.

They do not drool upon your doors,

They keep their biscuits off your floors.

I will not put a sticker on that sweet bumper of yours.

I tell any one who listens , please don't slam her doors.

I park you very carefully, preferring angle spaces.

We'll travel down the road of life

You'll take me many places.
