Cars Poems
Riding on the Rear Deck
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
When my first child was born in 1999...
The hospital told us we couldn’t leave...
They said we had to buy an infant seat...
I was shocked and found it hard to believe...
I was told it was a national law...
And a law the hospital had to enforce...
Then they happily sold me a $200 infant seat...
From the hospital gift shop, well, of course...

In Puerto Rican Skies
by Carl Halling
Kind faces smiling,
Nodding politely at words
They don’t seem to understand,
Show me pictures
Showing the richness
Of a faraway distant land,
Multicoloured motor cars,
Brown apartments rising high
......
Cars
by Mrs B's Oddities
YOU’D LIKE A MASSERATI
BUT YOU DRIVE A SUV
IT IS A SENSIBLE CAR
WHEN YOU HAVE A FAMILY
HE’D LIKE A FERRARI
BUT HE DRIVES A 4X4
A NECESSARY CAR
THAT ISN’T ON THE FLOOR
