The Perfect Car

Let me tell you how I found this awesome car

Not that I intended on getting a new car

I had recently sold my old and was content to walk

But I saw this car

                Or maybe she saw me

                Or maybe it was some magnetic force of fleshy machine to fleshy machine

Regardless, I was intrigued, I was turned on,

I couldn’t resist if I wanted, and I had no intention to resist

                I had to take a drive!

I stepped lightly on the gas and was immediately pinned to the seat

                My knuckles went white, my pupils grew wide

   The hairs stood on the back of my neck

It’s the drive of my life

                Like riding a thoroughbred unicorn on a summer eve

                I don’t want to let go of the wheel, or take my foot off the gas

                I could upshift endlessly through the gears

                I want this road to twist and turn its way through infinity

                         And if it doesn't, to find new roads to drive

Let me tell you about my amazing car

She’s the perfect combination of simple and complex

They swirl and merge together like a spellbinding ocean sunset

The style clean and smooth

                      The beauty’s in the design; mellifluous, natural, no need for blinging rims

The actions complex, sophisticated, unrefined

          She performs like an animal let out of the cage

                      The gears shift seamlessly, my senses stay stimulated

                      The response immediate, she hugs curves with witty precision

How amazed am I by that computer under the hood!

                A marvel of invention

                Rapid in analytical response, an intellectual machine like never before seen

And the power; let me tell you – breathtaking

                The power surpasses every desire of my heavy foot

                Each movement defined by purpose and grace

                The handling elegant, she reacts to the turns with passion and poise

“But, it’s just a car”, you say.  “A newer model will come along.”

                But this is no ordinary car

                                Not one found on any lot. Anywhere.

                She’s a custom, a classic, a one of kind in a market all her own

                                A hybrid uniquely designed to perfectly fit

                                An original that will only appreciate in value

                                       And how I appreciate her!

                I long to clutch the wheel

                To let the top down

                To turn the key

    To hear the engine purr

                To step on the gas and make her roar    

                To fly by every car on the road without looking back

Yes, I believe I've found the perfect car!
