Rental Cars

the dashboard gleams from a chemical finish,
reflecting brilliant sunshine up against
the crystal clear windshield.
No pits, no cracks, perfect newness.
The odometer reads 317, mileage from
the manufacturing plant to us.
Our new car for the weekend, $49.99
for three days, no insurance fees,
great mileage, no responsibility.
At home, a '92 Subaru Justy which burns oil
and a '95 Honda Passport with the
Service light on permanently.
A new car, $20,000 plus.
Rental cars rock.

Sounds like it's about time to let the 'ol Sub be recycled into a new lawnmower.... :^)
