I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It’s the only way to live
In cars”

Jealous of my Boogie

“Don’t be jealous of my boogie”
The older wise Mercedes said to the little new car
Who had turned red when trying with the old one to spar
And found out, it could not drive quite as far
After all, the vintage model was the star

Goldilocks and the Three Yellow Lorries

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the neighbourhood. Pretty soon, she came upon a parking lot and noticed three yellow lorries.

She stepped into the biggest one:

“This lorry is too hot to handle” she exclaimed.

So, she hopped into the middle lorry, and sat behind the wheel again:

“This lorry is too passe,” she said

So, she tried the smallest of the lorries:

“Ahhh, this lorry is just right,” she said happily, turned on the engine, and off she went!

Ode to My Little Car for SL-WEEK 42

“Good things come in small sizes”

Ode to My Little Car

It was a tiny little thing
Not the prettiest of the lot
The name had a soft ring
Almost like a plot

Fiesta…
Siesta…

Round and round in paces
Could see the look on others faces
‘Surely that is not the car to buy’
‘To her money she would kiss goodbye’

Trying it on for size I did
Smiling like a little kid
Spite what others may have though
This car was surely bought

It wasn’t quite what expected
Less is not more, had to respect it

Tempted by a car with muscle
The salesman tried to hustle
Something made me turn to look
The little car had gotten me hooked

Back and forth I went
Trying not to get bent
It was calling me I could hear
Trying hard not to get near

But
Fear not
Reason won in the end

After all
The muscle car was too tall
And lets face it
I got hitched

The tiny car was kin
All is well in the end

Lesson learned: Think big, buy small!

Red or White?

A rose is a rose
Of course, of course
Or was it a horse?

Any ways:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Roses!

Bells a ringing

Slay bells a ringing?
It’s summer time:
Can’t touch this…

Purple flowers,
They are gorgeous

OK, so did not find a rhyme!
