Still Mostly Working Poem by Kim Barney
Still Mostly Working
Well, the AC works fine in the wintertime,
and the heater works well in the summer.
The radiator leaks and the left wiper squeaks,
but the motor is strong; she's a comer.
That the radio's shot doesn't matter a lot;
I can sing or perhaps be a hummer.
But when she breaks down and I'm ten miles from town,
I just stick out my thumb --- I'm a thumber!
I love the internal rhymes on the odd-numbered lines. Excellent work and congrats of first place in the contest! To my favorites.
A very well deserved first place at that my friend! I love every bit of this poem, I can relate on so many levels. Great!
Well written. Five stars and to my favorites! Congratulations on FIRST PLACE in the contest!
