Notes About The Poem

Buckle Up, Baby

VAROOOM!! Listen to my honey purr.
Better to me than being wrapped in fur.
Come take a look at my 77' Corvette,
worth every penny tho' now I'm in debt.

She sits on a very sturdy C-2 chassis.
I love the way she makes me feel classy.
Brand new rims made of finest chrome,
staying clean, kept in my garage at home.

She gets attention from the opposite sex.
Here's my cute neighbor. "Hi there, Dex.
Take a look at what's under her hood."
"Whew," he whistled. "Sure lookin' good."

I didn't know if he meant the vette or me
with her 350 engine, I couldn't disagree.
Maybe it was her paint job he liked best,
Black Rose Metallic, he'd already guessed.

Dex told me he had one, an exact match.
I smiled knowing I'd hauled in my catch.
He asked if he could take us for a drive.
"Buckle up, Baby, I wanna keep you alive."

We slid across her seats of black leather,
Lookin' so fine, cruisin'  'round together.
My sweet vette was worth all the money.
Got Dex to notice me. Now he's my honey.

Wow! This is one hip-hop bouncy poem, Lin. I was moving and grooving w/every line. This beaut had a lot of sass and swag. Knowledge of the motion machine was on the beam ... as in beam me up, Scotty. This is an instant fave and a gold star classic PSoup poem. Ty for the enjoyable old school ride. Love and smiles always.

Is this complete fiction? Or some reality mixed cleverly with fiction? I am awed by your knowledge of cars, as well as entertained by a most creative and well-written poem. My (yet to post) entry is pure fluff stuff compared to this and some other 'knowledgeable' writes entered. I'm may not do the contest. Either way ... 7 ... CayCay

My ex was among other things, a mechanic, and I helped him work on our car... yeah, I learned a lot under the hood of a car.lol Only it wasn't a vette, and the hunky neighbor is fiction. Oh enter, Cayay, what's to lose...or win? Thanks for the nice comments.
