My faithful servant, Jeeves,
always aims to please.
No complaints at all,
at my beck and call.
I command, he obeys,
close at hand he always stays.
I have no need to worry,
whether slow or in a hurry.
Jeeves accommodates my mood,
doesn't even ask for food.
Though I make sure he is fed,
I would cry if he were dead.
He consoles me when I'm sad,
he takes off when I am mad.
When I need a pick-me-up,
he's right there, my eager pup.
Whenever I am feeling down,
Jeeves and I..we paint the town.
It will surely break my heart
if we ever have to part.
When I feel stress, it always leaves
when I am in my neat car,
Jeeves.

Fantastic
This was great for a while there I thought you were talking about the Jeeeves that answers questions on the internet. But this Jeeves is even better. I like the rhyme and flow, they were wonderful. -
very light and airy...flows very nicely too...nice job here maureen!..thanks for entering...hugs..leanne xxx
-
looks like you made something simply beautiful here...
nice flow, easy to follow... cute.
i'll print this write and show it to my youngest daughter... she owns a cute toy volkswagon...
touch it, and she'll make you cover your ears for her scream or you would rather decide to leave so she can play with her toy car alone... lol

Oh, now I really adore this poem. I need to find a car like that, one that I could fall in love with. I always get stuck with the lemons (or ones that have more mood swings than I do). There are few words to describe this poem. The best I can come up with is Splendid. I did like this a lot. Good luck in the contest.

Wonderful the way you had us thinking it was the pup then it turned out to be the car great work my friend~Love you~Joan

just wonderful!
Oh, I am so glad to know I'm not the only one to name my vehicles! I have been addicted to vans for about the last ten years. My first was a Nissan van, named Jackie Chan. Then, I got my first Dodge Caravan, and named it Van Gogh. When I moved from Hawaii to Oregon in 2001, I bought a new Caravan, and it is named Van Halen. My children and ex think I'm nuts. But, now I know I'm in the best of company. Kudos to you and Jeeves.

you may not need to feed him, but don't forget the oil. not too much oil, unless you enjoy the anonynimity of being shrouded in a big blue cloud of smoke because your engine is on fire. i appreciated the surprise ending, quite clever in fact.

Maureen, this is sooo cute! It sounds like me talking to Maggie... that's Steel Magnolia, my 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix. My mother had bought it right off the showroom floor; then, my Dad gave it to me 17yrs ago with only 32,000 miles on it. Would you believe, she has only 100,200 miles on her big V-8 today? Guess I drive more than my mother did. Maggie's one tough momma and always gets me where I need to go and then gets me back! LOL! She's fast, too, really reacts to the lead in my foot. LOL! Good luck in the contest! Luv ya~~ BonnieQ

Adorable!
Very good poetry!So fun and cute!I loved the picture,too!Adorable! -
Wonderful
Of course, when one thinks of Jeeves, one thinks of Wodehouse and his series of books on Brewster and Jeeves. Stephen Fry did a wonderful job portraying this wonderful character. So, I start to read it and realize that it is not the Jeeves in the books and on the BBC. Then I thought he was the dog. Then at the end I see he is the car. I only hope your Jeeves is not a SUV. Still, a very delightful poem and very well put together.
Well-done! -
YAY
Thats cooL!

Don't know which I love more...your poetry or your comments! (just like a boy loves his toys) I'm smiling from ear to ear!
Much Love,
