Cranked Up

     

   Cranked up the Jalopy 

I cranked up the old jalopy 

She was aching for an outing 

Plenty of times was left behind 

Was Mexico or Canada 

Why fly every time could have drove 

Europe or Asia understood 

The boys at the car grooming place 

All liked this baby, jalopy 

Smoothly they managed every gear 

Polished her standing dusty rear

Note:  At the grooming place every groomer told me what a nice car she was. I  felt good; my baby, jalopy was born in 1998, 27 years ago.  I treat her nice and easy, no more green light drag race for her. She was my retirement present from myself.
