An Ode To The Boat



When i needed Ocean's swell,
gravel clacked in your wheel well.

You banked and cruisedyou were my boat.
Cracked window scaled each landscape's note.

Sweet music of the open road
You sang and shouted, even crowed.

You climbed a mountain, you old salt...
for me to summit rockytop

Could not outrun their shiny rig,
but you still tempted every pig.

Some would think you were a pest...
My girlfriend's first sobriety test

I close my eyes at night and sigh
upon your hood, a starlit sky.

Weighed a ton,

Rest in peace.

You wouldn't drive for anyone


but me.
