Well you all know the drill. See the image and do a write with what comes to mind. Lets see some humor (or be serious if you must) in poetic verse... the catch... limited to 10 lines, no fewer no greater 10 and only 10.
So let your muse loose and let me see what you have.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rules-
No sticky caps or chat speak.
No excessive profanity - is not needed and will result in instant removal, light if it flows in the write, is acceptable.
No abuse, cutting, etc. type poems (like the image would inspire those) if you feel the need to write that go somewhere else
Blind contest, try not to give yourself away, PLEASE!
I have been lenient in my previous contests but do try not to give yourself away. Use IM to respond to comments until the contest is closed. Thank you.

- Final notes:
First off want to say thank you all so very much for these amazingly humorous writes they were all magnificent works taken from this image inspiration.
Well here is my little take on the image.
My car thought it was a pidgeon,
didn't know it cause I was on the phone.
Had really only drunk a smidgeon,
didn't see have far it had flown.
It took it's chance and made a dash,
lifted off tremendously fast,
missed it all when it came in for a crash,
maybe the car wasn't the only one gassed.
Now explaining it to my girl,
open the door, hit the ground, OMG! I'm gonna hurl!
Ok I had an entry that got beat at the wire and didn't make it in because of the number of entry qualifications. But I wanted to post it here anyways cause it wa pretty funny.

One Sedan's Story
An older, worn out, sedan such as me
should not be subjected to folks like these three.
It was mom on her cell, one hand on my wheel
the kids in the back were beginning to squeal.
When at once a semi went out of control
a choice I must make, the truck or the pole.
The brakes they did lock, my tires were a smokin'
Mom in the front on her hot mocha chokin'.
So I sailed through the air, a stunt devil flyer
flew passed the pole, but got hung on the wire.
Ok now on to the final judging, these were all so vey good and made this quite difficult to judge.
Gold - Did I still Pass? -Just too damn funny!
Silver - Poker Night Blues -could find myself feeling this way
Bronze - Erm!! Darling - try explaining that one, lol
HM - The Persistance of Sedans - zombie phillistines indeed
Once again thanks all for a great contest and all the wonderful laughs.
Be well and be blessed,
Mouser

How on earth did that car get there?
Dare I ask?
Good luck. -
I won't have time for an entry, but this struck me as so funny. I imagined it to be one of the new electric cars and someone forgetting to charge it up at home
Why not make use of the powerlines and save on own electric bill?I wish you a succesful contest,
