Living In An RV

New Car?

Poems from my Archives. Published 09/18/2011

BMW X5

Do I need a new car, my mind is asking
the one that I have has been mine and is lasting
well since February of 2007.

It was not new when I bought it if cars have a birth
this one was born in 2003 so it was four when it came to me
a BMW by name, an X5 model that truth be known
is the nicest car I have ever owned.

It has on it thousands of miles of wear and tear
and travel to places with nary a care
it always goes where I want it to go
and I am hoping that it will continue to ride
like the good car it is, with me inside .

Do I need a new car, the question is asked
can it do anything different from the one from the past
the answer is no, I am happy to say
So a new car is out of the question, today.

  1. Fancy!! I wonder how long after you wrote this poem that you actually got a new car because all I’ve ever known you to have was an SUV. Then trucks. And now a fancy jeep. You seem to have come full circle.

Now planning on spending the rest of my life in Henly RV Park, Texas in The Caboose, a 45 foot long Jayco Bungalow. I am too old to drive around anymore and the interest is not there but it was fun while it lasted…
