To my Honda Passport SUV
Sheet metal steel
With a unique Japanese feel.
Factory powder coat finish.
Sterling silver as an old man's hair.
And under the hood or the bonnet,
Depending on whatever continent you happen
to live in,
A twenty-four-valve,
Direct Overhead Cam V-6 gasoline
internal combustion engine.
Tuned port injection serves as the fuel
delivery system.
And inside the passenger interior of the machine,
You have a CD player,
Air conditioning,
Tilt-steering, anti-lock brakes and
cruise control.
Brand spanking new this little baby is.
She just rolled off the assembly line of the
factory room floor.
And wouldn't you know it, she's a sport utility
vehicle, of all things.
Walk around and kick the tires.
Open the door, step in and recline back in gray
leather seats.
You know, there's nothing quite like the feel
of new automotive leather on your skin.
So, go ahead, take her for a spin
Around the block and back again.
Grab the wheel.
And with the tag and title now transferred over,
And the insurance premium paid up,
This baby is licensed to thrill.
And deep down inside you know you really want to
go beep-beep.
So, get in,
Grab the steering wheel and go beep-beep till
your heart's content,
Having fun riding around in your new automobile.

cute! it is very good imagery, almost feels like I'm climbing in. but tell me, with the lines:
"You know, there's nothing quite like the feel
of new automotive leather on your skin."
You're not driving around in the nude are you?
I'm just kidding. good job with this piece Andy

No, I'm not talking about driving around in the nude. Hey, that could get you arrested for indecent exposure. Ha, ha, ha. LOL. No, I mean the feel of new car seat leather on your hands, and if you're wearing a short sleeve shirt, the feel of the leather on the exposed parts of your arms, basically. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it. Oh, by the way, wiccanway, I may have an entire book of my poetry coming out soon. I sent a copy of a book manuscript off to a publisher a week ago. I've yet to hear from them. But, anyway, the name of the book will be, "IN MY MIND'S EYE: A COLLECTION OF MODERN POETIC WORKS SET IN PROSE." And I don't know yet whether I'm gonna use my real name, which is Andy or Andres, which is what my name is in Spanish----or Andreas. Anyway, my middle name is Duane and my last name is Burkhart. That's what ADB5121967 stands for: Andy Duane Burkhart. Born May the 12th, 1967. The book will 361 pages roughly, and everything that is currently posted here at Allpoetry.com will be included in the upcoming book, which is 1 of 3 volumes of poetry. Anyway, be on the lookout for it. Bye.
