Dreaming of conquest
Favorite game show
Awesome contestant
Answer’s fandango
Sleeping wide awake
No longer dreaming
Clock striking midnight
Netflix still streaming
Sailing oceans blue
First mate now sleeping
Craft found, back on course
Prize’s safekeeping
Shifting direction
Away from sailing
Compass pointing west
Dreamtime’s unveiling
Sweeping “Price is Right”
Morning now shifting
New day with new wheels
Sports car downshifting
Here is the updated and edited poem, originally written in October, 2018, during the very first month of Big Sky Buckeye’s blog. While I have never owned a Mustang, I enjoyed the pleasure of driving one as a rental car a few years ago.
The Ford Mustang is a classic, matchless car
It is well-known around the world near and far
Designed with a fleet, sleek, and distinctive frame
Its final destiny will be to drive to the Hall of Fame
The ’65 convertible is a huge favorite of mine
It fills my special memories from time to time
Lee Iococca is the inspiration behind its creation
His pony car creates a newly crowned sensation
Collectors love this car with its vintage look
For many drivers enjoy the swiftness it took
Midnight blue, ruby red, and powerful black
Identify but a few of its sporty colors to track
Chevy produces the Camaro to challenge Ford’s power
Only to see the Mustang make a major film that towers
Steve McQueen drives his ’68 Bullitt in a famous chase
The spectacular scenes tantalize many fans with a taste
Endless generations worship this untamed beast
Driving the Mustang is sure to be a fulfilling feast

“Purty” is a regional variation of the word “pretty.” It sounds a bit more folksy, and it works well with this short, funny poem.
On a purty summer day
Driving a purty sports car
Down a purty wide avenue
Listening to purty radio tunes
Hey, it’s a purty life
This purty flashy, speedy car
With its purty big engine
How does purty fast feel?
Yes, cruisin’ purty fast now
With purty bright lights flashing
Seeing a purty police car
Hmm, this speeding ticket ain’t purty
