My First Car - a Not So Rosy Story

My very first car was, I think, a Monza, which was rosy pink. At a somewhat cheap price, that old sports car was nice, but my luck with her sure did stink! Cleaned and polished, she was looking fine; I was happy to claim her as mine although she was such a hog! On too much gasoline that old sports car would dine! On a big trip I took her; I cried to find out that her engine was fried. From a crack in her block she stopped working. Tick Tock! Time is short; in six weeks she had died!

Lovely Limerick you have here! Congrats on your win! I have visited Shadowpoetry as you suggested, but the site is under construction going by the notice on the site. I have seen some of your poems, especially the ones used as examples of some forms of poetry. I hope the site will come up again.

Another gold medal for a terrific write. Hey, wasn't it you who told me, "These contests really have me baffled"? Yeah, right! You do "baffled" pretty darn well! Joe

Funny, Andrea. A pink Monza, huh - bet there weren't too many of those on the road. Don't tell me these contests have you baffled - you seem to be doing just fine to me. Joe
