Harrows and Hallows while driving, a poem for Sunday

Driving; Harrows and Hallows 

Going north I-45 in my Olds 
On my way to work sixty miles miles per hour 
Driving in the rain puddles here and there 

Hydroplaned real bad car changed head to toe 
That didn't last my car was in a spin 
Sixty miles an hour where would it end 

With cars around they slowed down gave me room 
"Weird idiot driver" I'm sure they thought 
Time had stalled showed to me future and past 

Quickly as it started car had straightened 
Sliding spinning had stopped now straight ahead 
Skillful driving? I was in other hands 

There's more to this tale I discovered soon 
In opposite direction headed south 
Same thing happened to my wife--other hands

Notes:
 - In 1985 we purchased a used 1981 Olds Cutlass Supreme, looking exactly like the picture above, with about 49,000 miles from its original owner.  We sold it for $1000 a few years later with 150,000 miles plus.  Its body had developed a baseball sized hole which we kept covered with duct tape.  Other than that it was still in good shape.
 - During our marriage of 43 years we have never purchased a NEW car.
