'Bout time I brought this one to the top for a spell. This page gets many hits from guys - and none of them read the poem. OK fellas,its a 1974 Triumph TR6, straight six, 2.4 litre engine, twin cam, 5 speed close ratio gearbox. And at 30 years old it easily tops 120mph.

A Woman may love many things,
Her bloke, hairdresser or mum,
Her Friends, cat, sister
Her daughter or her son
But only a man can ever know
The greatest love by far
A woman can love nothing
The way he loves his car.
He'll caress it and he'll cherish it,
park out of rain and sun.
He'll polish all its paintwork
Then he'll rub it up again
He'll call it GTI or VTEC
Or SE-X among his cronies
But nobody will ever know
What name his very own is.
He will never ever confess
For fear of derision and ridicule
That he talks to it while cruising,
He would look like such a fool.
He'll say "Faster now my beauty,
That's doing it for me, you beast"
He'll behave like a berserker
At an adrenalin feast.
He would never drive an automatic
No - one could understand
The buzz he gets driving his car
With its knob in his left hand.

| Vehicular masturbation. WOW! You're revealing secrets here. But I suspected as much based on car commercials, however this poem was far more entertaining. When my old mentor's wife told him he could get the read Miata he'd lusted after for years for his 55th birthday, and he did, it crossed my mind that perhaps she was really saying, "Darling, I want less sex. Get yourself a hot little red number to play with." :-D ~~Nordette |
