Best Vaccination: Laugh at Yourself!

 

Where did all the girls go?

After turning twenty one,

I bought a brand new car.

A sports job with a five speed box,

And glances from afar.


No Triumph, Sprite, or MGB

Too commonplace you see.

I found the Fiat 1-2-4

Sport Spyder was for me!


At every light some one would say

"I really like your car!"

Positano Yellow you could 

Spot it from afar.


For girls it was a magnet.

How could I ask for more?

On sunny days with soft top down

It even would seat four.


Although those days were long ago.

They seem like yesterday.

I wonder if I had one now

Would I still feel that way?


My other half still harbors the

Convertible allure.

With modern folding hard tops they're

Much better that's for sure.


She loved the new Miata so

I bought one as a gift.

With automatic I still miss

My rapid five speed shift.


For sure this Mazda goes Zoom Zoom, 

But I don't feel as free..

It's bumpy, noisy, small and so

I always bang my knee.


Getting in is difficult

But with the sun o'er head,

I think about the beach and of 

The care free life I led.


If I Zoomed by you today

You might have heard me shout.

"Please call 9-1-1 for me -

You see I can't get out!"
