Ode to My Jaguar
by Nancy Ness

I love my Jaguar..
...Yes I do
It's sleek and
...Sexy too.

Plush leather in
...Rich charcoal out
Sheer comfort's what
...It's all about.

Brand new it's not
...For thirty days
All problems fore
...The dealer pays.

So when I found
...The battery dead
They towed it just
...As they had said

Back on the road
...With that all fixed
I'm driving in
...My XJ6.

The sunroof's back
...Drive by the dunes
With attitude
...And Classic tunes.

This sunny day feels
...Good to me ~
Then "Holy Smoke"...
...What could that be?

An old red pick-up
...Driver's claim,
"Look underneath ~
Your Jag's AFLAME"!!

Pull off the road,
...Shut off the key,
In zero time jumped
...Out to see

Two fire trucks
...And cruisers three
All there to greet
...Just li'l ole me..

"My Heroes, Thank you
...One and all"
We laughed and chuckled
...As I called

My friendly dealer
...And he said
"Again I'll send you
...A flatbed."

The fireman said
...With a cute smirk
"Just fix this leak
...And it will work."

The officer with
...A huge grin ~
Said "Don't you come
...This way again"!!!

Of course the group
...Of them did say
"Why did you trade
...Your Protege?"

I, of course, shall
...Love my Jag
Forever and a day
...But rest assured

Tomorrow morn
...I'm getting Triple "A"!!
