My Car - a Poem for dVerse Quadrille

This 1998 Mustang GT Convertible,
my retirement present to me in 2001

Mustang Music 

We go purring down the road 
That's me and my Mustang 
Mustang's a classic this year 
         Born Nineteen-ninety-eight       18

Sings sixties and seventies 
  Classic rock she does choose   
Music to our ears she purrs 
            Top down and throttle too        20 
 
Dylan, Beatles, ZZTop,  
          More, bellowing non-stop           6
                                                                  44 Words

 - Linda's request is that our quadrille should be exactly 44 words, not including the title and include the word “Music” or a derivative of the word.   
 - To read our group's efforts, go here, 
 - The car had 49K miles when I got it, now has 106K.  The mirrors vibrate with classic rock music playing very loud.

    Beautiful poem and a fantastic car! When my husband and I got married, we drove away in his white 1964 Mustang.

    Jim, they used to build cars with real character -- and affordable! Mustang was one of my favorites back in the day. So cool you have one. Neat Q.

    As a car-free person, I LOVE this insight into why people cling to their cars.

    I don't know, I just never have bonded with one.
