"Hot Ride"

Rusted atop, a musty blue all around

Jerk when the stops complete

With a bumpy shakey sound

The wheel burns immediately

Upon touch

No radio to bump to when things

Get rough

Just a couple of seatbelts that never

Want to click

No AC no digital clock that turns with a

Tick

Just the forever reliability to get you

From one place to the other

Since the moment you fell into the

Hands of my grandmother

Clank and click everywhere we go

waiting on the day you finally explode

And I clenched your seats when my

Cousin went speeding down the road

You were patient when every other car

Began to die

And waited for all of us so in you we could

Learn how to drive

And yes we couldn't wait for the new car to arrive but...

This one's to you old Toyota; everyone's first ride.
