New Ride
Got a new car yesterday
Real rocket ship
Replaced an old war horse
Tried and true.
Getting used to the power
The zooming along
Paying attention to the speed dial.
My son pointed out
It goes up to 160.
Yes I said,
This thing really rocks.
So I’m chatting away
On the phone
On the drive
And to my dismay
Here come the flashing lights.
So I pull over
The correct thing to do
And begin a discussion
With Officer Blue.
Know how fast you were going?
I don’t, my new drive
Try 59 in a 35.
He wrote me a ticket
But cut me a break
Then we discussed
My new rocket ship.
He said it must cruise
I said, think so too
Then we talked about specs
And the engine that moves.
He wished me good luck
And a good evening too
And added a warning
As cops sometimes do
“Be careful, this car may cost you a lot more than you thought”
