What A Boat?
(actually, It's a car)


    1
    We used to fit two cars
    in the length of our driveway.
    But now, this one fills it more.

    2
    Mirriam calls it “a boat”,
    our Neighbor called it “a boat”.
    but that's not acceptable.

    3
    A seventy-three Buick
    Electra is a Big change.
    Our cars were only Metros.

    4
    Ten miles per gallon is more cash
    than the forty-five miles per gallon
    we got with both geo metros.


5
From toy feeling, to boat feeling,
Overcompensating for danger,
big car protection, after an accident.

6
The accident took one Metro
and almost both of our lives,
but half as long as the house?

7
Need we really go this far.
Our other Metro looks lonely
since it must park on the road.
