A 2003 VW Beetle: Cyber green
Turbo sports model with a stick shift
and a lot of ZIP.
Small, round, compact but full of sass—
But also full of class
with heated black leather seats
trimmed in cyber green.
Recognized when seen among
Behomoth-filled traffic.
Flash from head to toe:
Floor mats and wheels
Trimmed in Cyber green too
Nicknamed Olivia for looking like a green olive
from the rear with red pimento lights.
A spoiler unfurled to remind the driver
she's going too fast in the residential hood.
At stop lights, Titans looked down on
the grey haired long-time owner,
but when the light changed to greenshe left those giants in the dust
A green spotted bug whirligig
twirled in the bud vase until it
whirled out of the vase once too many.
Recently a red-headed driver:
The talk of SLU for squeezing into
tight empty parking places.
Nick-named Booger and Buggie.
But, now being held together with
Zip Ties—-how appropriate for the car
That Zipped into parking spaces and at
Green lights is now Zipped together.
At the end of her life-span,
Can she be in a Hollywood film?
Please let it be a Thelma and Louise scene:
Flying over a cliff, out with a bang.
And not limping into
a retirement home of junked cars.
