Old Relic
My car’s an old relic.
She is two decades old.
Engine whines, hard to crank,
Slow to start when she’s cold.
–
It’s best to take your time,
Allowing gears to turn,
‘Fore swinging onto road
And letting rubber burn.
–
I, too, am old relic,
Without much gas in tank.
Mornings I tend to whine
And often am a crank.
–
Don’t push me out early,
I’ll only be a grouch.
Better let the caffeine
Kick start me off the couch.
