His New Car

His New Car

He’s been looking for a new car,
without enthusiasm, wallet's a bit lean,
and he’s not a carnoisseur anyway.
He keeps asking what to look at,
how much is reasonable to spend,
how he can most easily get rid
of the heap he is currently driving,
and I say, I don’t know, and the
process goes on for months,
even years,
Today I saw the answer so
clearly as it pulled out from
a parking spot on Pearl Street
and started rolling down the
road.
A 1979 Chevy Nova, previously
loved, inexpensive and sure to
be the envy of the neighborhood.
I provided the information.
I’m sure he’ll follow up
promptly.
