NEW CAR

My brand new car
is virgin white.
The breaks are tight
and the gears don't fight
to mesh.

My brand new car
is unquestionably
articulately
irrevocably NEW.

And it's mine and I love it
and I must protect it from damage danger
darkness and night.
My car is white and it must
stay that way.

From all harm I must protect her
every day I inspect her
in all ways I expect her
to stay pure
or
to remain insured for all time.

My brand new car is mine
and to make sure it stays fine
I keep her locked around the clock in a box
to maintain its perfect beauty.
