Who needs a car

Yesterday my car died on me, and the dog ate my homework.

Well I don't have a dog and ,y car really didn't die it just wouldn't start.

But my computer did crash and my scan disk went blank.

My car coughed and gagged and wouldn't turn over if it were pushed.

I banged in the steering wheel as I cried out "I hate this car".

I could smell the gas fumes and my eyes began to tear

My eyes could hear what my ears refused to see

Even Edgar Jones in New Haven knew that car wasn't going to start.

To make my day even better I missed the bus

My peeps from next door hooked me up with a ride

The warm day of agony

Came in like a dream and left the same

Well it would be a while before Jen Jen would drive her car again

A week later would be the first time the car would be driven

Mi Vida Loca

The air around it would sing a new tune and the car

would hum along with it,

This being the cars,

to walk alongside the clouds like a bird

leaving me to hear the motion

of my car dieing on me yesterday.
