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.
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.
