All My Love
My heart went pitty patty that day I saw
I knew certainly you were cut out for me
Seems you saw me too I felt the earth shaking
Beauty did I dream
I'd seen the likes of you strolling on the street
Alone except for your mate what would he say
Perhaps he'd like a newer lass for the street
You could stroll with me.
Well, I bought you, dear Mustang GT 4.6
Convertible retirement present for me.
Now we cruise the streets together way we stroll
Consummate our love

- Photo is of my retirement present from myself to me. A 1998 Mustang I bought in 2000 and retired in 2001. I've had her, loved her ever since. The dog is Adi, my loving Beagle. We were a registered Pet Therapy Pair, Alzheiimer's residents loved us to visit.

- This week, we were asked to write a poem of celebration, whether of a person, a thing, an event… Optional extra: do it in the form of a Sapphic ode.
- I did write in Sapphic ode. The verses have four lines, the first three have eleven syllables, the fourth is with five syllables. These are often used in writing love poems.
Oh, that's gorgeous! How could you not fall in love?
ReplyDeleteWell, you did fool me with this love ode! Good one.
ReplyDeleteI love the twist in the tale! Wishing happy drives - Jae
ReplyDeleteI knew love has wings, never realised about the wheels...
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty, and so is Adi.
ReplyDeletePK
Haha ... well done and with Sapphic ode in mind, too! Your love was not fickle. If I read it right, you were wed to this car for many happy years. :)
ReplyDeleteI still have the car and drive it. We are Texas, they have classified it as a Texas Antique Auto meaning at least 25 years old and I don't drive or use it for work or school. Low insurance rates and I only have to renew its license once every five years.
DeleteI know someone who feels like that about his Armstrong Siddeley. I tell him you can't cuddle up to it and it cant keep you warm at night.:)
ReplyDeletethat was kinda surprise end...your 'love' interest
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a cause for celebration, Jim! (PS, I did reply to your question about HipHop, but I don;t know if you saw it)
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you, I got it. I haven't given up, I'll try another way.
DeleteThat's cute and a real cause for celebration 🎉😁
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a beauty, and definitely that's a cause for celebration. :)
ReplyDeleteLove on wheels! Great poem, Jim!
ReplyDeleteCelebrating all the cars you and I have EVER owned!!!!!
