1953 Buick Special Poem by Ted Sheridan
1953 Buick Special
I was admiring the clean car this morning before it rained
With my newspaper in hand I paused momentarily to notice its beauty
My wife had cleaned it yesterday; from vinyl top to rubber bottom
The windows were spotless and the upholstery was polished
I even thought I heard the leather inside say “Thank the wife”…
Its grille was shiny and bright with the precision of a dentist
As I was returning to the house I was thinking about going for a drive
My wife appeared at the front door in her nightgown....
There is just something special about a clean car and those hood ornaments
(2007)
drive the Night-Gown like it was a 1953 special Buick. i would. take care.
I have only just come across your work, and I have enjoyed it immensely. This is the kind of 'catch the moment' poem I love reading. Immediacy in the commonplace.
