Midnight ChromeIn the hush of dusk when streetlights flicker alive,
obsidian sheet metal catching dying light,
A black Chevy Impala – Detroit steel poetry in motion.
They don’t make ‘em like this anymore,
All angles and attitude, chrome catching moonlight like silver promises.
This ain’t just transportation – this is transformation.
V8 heartbeat rumbling beneath the hood,
Speaking in tongues of combustion and...

The Revenge of the MammalsA dinosaur, two tons or three,
Heard tell from a mammal quite wee:
“Why, one day your tar
Shall burn in a car
That’s driven by creatures like me!”

Clowns Drive A CamaroIntro
Clowns drive a Camaro and the World is full of clowns/
By the end of 2023, Camaro’s will run the town/
Even the clown haters wanna join the Camaro line/
Back to back to back we about to tear the circus down/
Verse One
Clowns drive a Camaro, and drive them super fast/
Put the pedal to the metal, and you...

The Happy WandererThe Happy Wanderer
I like to wander near and far.
Just me and my little white car.
There are treasures to be found everywhere.
Just waiting to be discovered out there.
Soon I saw a little mom and pop store.
It was in a small house with a green door.
I was greeted by a jolly little old man.
He had a small...

In my car
"Suppress your emotions
distract your mind...
build four walls
and hide inside...
lock your doors
learn to lie...
live like a zombie
in disguise...
Study a career
find a wife...
make some children
see them at night...
confess your sins
before you die...
you better believe
this is life...
I wanted my grandma
to live a little bit longer...
so I could give her my love
when I grew older...
so she could enjoy...

Cruising in her Hyundai SonataCruising in her Hyundai Sonata,
listening to a Bach cantata,
she killed the overhead light
and mused, “For dinner tonight?
I'd love your twelve-inch enchilada.”...

Driving an old carProminent now are wrinkles on our skin,
signalling decay of organic form,
yet divine magnetism throbs deep within,
engulfing us in currents cool and warm,
conjuring magically a bliss storm.
We are light of Self, not this body-mind;
feel us as heart’s vibrance, loving and kind.
To navigate life, we dwell in this shell
but to truth of who we are, we’re not...

MERCEDES JELINEKI am throwing light on the girl called Mercedes Jelinek, on whose name a wonderful car brand is named after. So there are many such girls and boys whose names still remain un-written in the books of history.
Let me write a poem on the beautiful Mercedes.
O queen of new prosperity,
The princess of human-utility,
Thou art...

Pink Cadillac
Some people wear rose coloured glasses
but I drive my pink cadillac through life
I ride in style and bite into adventure
my friends and I cruise for a fun time

No echo, No noiseLate is the night
pulling a trailer
we are tired tonight
a day spent riding dirt bikes
our headlights failed
we had to stop it was dark
we called out for help
hoping someone would hear
there was no echo, no noise
it was quite spooky
there were no stars, no moon
the sky was black
we would call out again
there was no...

By the Side of the RoadDrive down a highway and look left or right
And I can, for sure, guarantee
By the side of the road, resting there in plain sight
Will be plenty of garbage to see.
Plastic bags strewn around or entangled in trees,
Cans and bottles and wrappers and such,
Plus so many containers and papers – oh jeez!
It is more than a...

Young Man's First Love
At the gate of adolescence boy meets girl;
a real jewel but she clearly ranks second.
He spends time grooming another favorite
and buys expensive gifts for her, like custom wheels.
In times away from her, he’ll mutter with worry
of how she might could suffer harm without him.
Might she disappear like a shadow from his sight?
