Blue Buggy Car

“Driving, in retro style” Gun Roswell


Blue Buggy Car

In the street corner
A blue lonely bug
Just wanted a hug
Or a driver to take
On a road trip near a lake

Painted in blues
In all shades and hues
She matched the skies
But were her expectations too high
For where could she find
That one person so kind
Now all she could do is cry

A little while later
When all hope was almost lost
A tiny girl in pig tails
Turned up and stopped
She asked the tiny car,
Clearly very scared

“Why so sad
The sun is shining clouds are blue
Just like you
Shouldn’t you be glad?”

The bug answered:
“I am old
It makes me cold
Not fashionable
Nor lovable
Cannot find one soul
Who would drive me
To the lake or sea”

The little girl felt bad
Then had an idea and laughed:
“Have no fear
I’ll drive you my dear
Alone no more
Neither sore”

She then hopped into the bug
Luckily she was small because the bug was quite snug
Driving together to the sunset
Never each other going to let

Left hanging all by myself!

“Look! I’m on top of the world Ma!?” Gun Roswell


Left hanging all by myself!

I was put here on total display Much to my own undesire and dismay
Nobody bothered to ask me if I wanted to stay 

So here I just hang until the end of the day 

I am not discarded nor broken Nor am I anyone’s special token
But I surely used to be for spoken 

Dunno no, if that applies anymore, just hoping 

So some one please come and get me
You can ride me even to the sea
My pedals and saddle are still complete
So hope on and let me drive you easily 

A Lada Car? For me?

“What does it matter if it’s an older model, it still works does it not? “ Gun Roswell

A Lada Car? For me?

When the need for any type of vessel
To transport you anywhere (well somewhere at least) across town
It does not matter whether it has the latest gadgets
Or even runs with gasoline, methane or beer (going green is always good)
But once you fall in love with a tiny blue thing (yes, thing is the best description for it)
It will certainly make your heart to sing (and make your wallet cry)
A blast from the very, very past
Some might say, and then gasp (they do that a lot don’t they)
But no matter what the others might think
Just let yourself into the comfy seat sink
Then push the petal (not entirely to the metal as it may break)
And glide down the road (or jump depending on how reliable your driving abilities are)
Now riding in a car built by an already forgotten super power
Does not make to feel like you have such great power
But this is a leisure drive after all (yeah, you really need it today)
So, just enjoy the time and make it a ball
Ride the blue painted bucked of metal to the sunset (well maybe to the beach within the hour)
And return the ride before you have to pay extra for the fun set

Island life under the shade

“Sometimes, one simply needs a break from it all.” Gun Roswell

Island life under the shade

A small Island, perhaps Greece?
A small piece
Of our very own history
Beyond the centuries
The oldest of towns
Considered the jewel of the crown
Alas the soft sunny beach
At your very reach
Ixia, Kamiros or Lindos
A small drive with the bus
Everything you’ll ever need
On the small island of eternal peace

Mini in blue with a flag on top, a Union Jack but of course!

“Ride a mini cooper, the tiny four wheel vehicle and you never go back to a Volkswagen, or, what ever kind of car” Gun Roswell


Mini in blue with a flag on top, a Union Jack but of course!

A Union Jack flag, painted, on the very top of her head
Two white ‘go’ stripes, adorning, the hood ahead
Her headlights, big, bright and very shiny things, and yes, oh so metallic
As I continue listing all these qualities, I am getting so, so ecstatic
Darkest of blue, is the shiny coat she wears
Why don’t you, just take a peek inside, if you dare
(I know you want to, go ahead, it’s alright, she won’t bite, well, maybe, just a nibble!)
Lot’s of room, in this small, little gal is packed
Four seats, even ample storage, and a motor, in the back
She truly is, a complete package, of beauty and smart
This tiny, and little, old school mini cooper, is a totally and utterly, lovable car

Up, up, up and then down with the Escalator

“Take a short ride, up and down the slide, also known, as an escalator” Gun Roswell


Up, up, up and then down with the Escalator

What is your choice, when you want to go up?
When the walking makes internal noises, and you end up with a huge huff?
Even when the legs won’t carry you all the way down
What can you do, but really put on a frown?

Is there a simple answer to this constantly nagging everyday dilemma?
OK, so this problem might not be high up there, as it ain’t so stellar
But what if you had a set of stairs
Where you could easily “walk” up and down, and even in pairs?

The answer may be quite easy and simple to implement
For, all you need to do is make a call post haste
To the local technically inclined stairway maker

Row Boat Ahoy!

“Row row row a boat, gently down the moat” Gun Roswell

Row Boat Ahoy!

A boat from the times simple
May some good old memories kindle
On a day filled with sunlight
When nothing and none is uptight

Take a ride on the lake
With this ye old boat, no fake
Row a while, then maybe smile
On this day of summers so fine

It may be old a rickety
But try to use it skilfully
And to the wide side of the water’s deep
Then back again, it will have brought thee

Day on some kind of Wheels

“Vroom, Vroom! Can I get more speed, please?” Gun Roswell


Day on some kind of Wheels

Time for the bi-yearly service
So no need to be nervous
This is no major over haul
Just a quick ten minute call
A preparation before the snow fall
Also, because it is the law
And to be able to drive
Simply put, to stay alive 😉

Meanwhile, in the distance
Spotted something completely different
A train dashing by
Almost like it was on the fly
Because a vehicle of that calibre
Do not live by the calendar
Just keeping on the right track
Travelling every which way and back

Before my day was done
I bumped into something fun
A sporty looking vehicle
Did not seem too seasonal
But with the right kind of footwear
It too could be put into full gear
Choose some cool tunes on the radio
And ride along in the deep snow

A Quick Trip on the Streets of Paris

A Quick Trip on the Streets of Paris

Take a ride around the town
Many a choices for a vehicle can be found
A bike ride safe and most simple
But with a hot car, your face may get more dimples
Down under, there are many a wonder
When riding the public transit, in a metro most fancy
Or maybe you prefer a blast from the past
In a pink car oh so very fast

It’s all down hill from here!

“Taking a dive, down the hill!” Gun Roswell


It’s all down hill from here!

When ever there is snow on the ground
And a small mountain or a molehill found
The kids will arrive in flocks
Dragging their sleighs to the top
“Mommy, mommy, look at me!
Look how fast I am going!
Oops, look, there’s a tree!”

<Crash, bang, boing>

“Mommy, mommy, look no teeth!”
The kid only laughingly stated
As back up hill he ventured
If only to once more ride
Before getting his dentures
