ode to a car

old faithful, old reliable
how i will miss thee

teacher, transporter, liberator, protector
much used and much abused

so careless are we with your feelings
yet you still serve faithfully

so negligent are we of your needs
yet you still serve us well

we bang and we bash and we crash
and you protect us from all harm

thank you my friend
for the patience while i learnt
for the tirelessness while i drove
for the speed when i craved liberty
and for the protection when i bashed you in another car :)
