The reason for this picture?
I have accepted a challenge from Cheryl to post old verses if she will do the same.
This is from The Bad Child's Book of Automobiles, circa 1966.
The Sunbeam
The Sunbeam has a rumble seat
In which to put your parcels.
Don't ever try to ride in it
If you value your metatarsals.
I know....I did....I limp....I rue.
I toss on this advice to you:
A car is not what it may seem.
Beware the magnified, bright Sunbeam!

Delightful!! That is a wonderful poem Priscilla :)
Now I find myself at a severe disadvantage...my poems (if I can call them that) were written when I was a teenager...no sophistication to them at all...but I won't renege on my challenge. Give me some time to go dig them up, and I'll follow through on my half of the challenge.
Once again, I really liked your poem.
(laughing) what a delight you wickedly mischieviously bad child you!
The yellow Sunbeam with its "tiger" throw on its back is perfect.
Thanks, both of you...did you really, really like it or just really like it?
That wasn't very wicked, Biddie. I can do wickeder.
Did the parental eye ever see the teenage poems, C?
Really, Really!! I can imagine the limp-away.
And the answer to this set of eyes ever seeing the poems is "no" - Cheryl might not want me to see them. I think I might have been part of her angst ...
