Just An Old Model T

I often thought of my body,
in turms of a truck or a car.
It use to truly reve up and,
and brother I could sure light a fire .

Here lately Ive been looking,
and I found a flaw or two.
For my ride has a catch in its get along,
and mighty short on muse.

My radiator has sprung a leak,
my chasey aint what it use to be.
It sputters at times and the frame squeeks,
and well the looks are in dire need.

It doesnt crank up like it use to,
and the windshield has grown blury today.
At times it runs like it has the blues,
but somehow we will find the way.

It's getting tough buying fuel these days,
price of the fuel takes our whole darn pay.
Can't walk for the darned old
transmission is on the blink,
and the exhaust brother
has a terrible stink.

But Im a classic and loved that's true,
he doesnt see the flaws
for him Im still brand new.
A true model T best ever made,
and we will see each other
through each brand new day.

    This Is Great

    Oh so funny how you tied emotions and everyday life in with a classic of a car. You crack me up quite the imagination you have. I love how it ran so well in the beginning when it was young and new then it sputters and sqeeks. Then you have those darn fuel prices that no one can hardly afford but in the end the last stanza sums up the poem into one that made me laugh but also gives hope with love to face each new day no matter what. Thank you for sharing with me.
    Wishing You Many Blessings
    Much Love Always

    What fun!

    Wow this is hilarious, sounds a bit like me, I am an old banger, but in the UK I would be the equivalent to something like a Zodiac Executive V6 3 litre Auto ...always did like those cars .. as for executive well perhaps not but Zodiac yes cos into astrology!
    Love this poem thouhg its a real 'hoot' on the horn very poetically good on grahpics and well used descriptives, nicely woven into a great take on you models pretty and full of chart to boot (or wheels if not on foot!).
    Love the optimistic ending ...

    But Im a classic and loved that's true,
    he doesnt see the flaws for him Im still brand new.
    A true model T best ever made,
    and we will see each other through each brand new day.

    Yep sounds just about right on beam (car headlight beams of course!). Carry on modelling you do it so perfectly and so poetically!
    Write on well done love it!
    'Exhausted' now but happy with a smile on face! Forgive the cheesy (or oily) puns on words!
    Hope you win gold in every contest you enter, you well deserve to this poem should for sure! best of luck!
    Poetic Hugs and Thanks Millions,
