Chorus of Cars

CHORUS OF CARS

Flame Red Firebird Or rusty truck Glossy panacea Or pick-me-up Poor man has a pony Rich man has his greed Small men feel envy Big men need the speed

Meteoric Metalloids Thundering wheels Engine in overdrive Tyres making squeals Decimating insects Sucking in a bird Animals like rejects Lie drying by the Kerb

Hard-nosed warriors Of modern times Rubber dub hubs Enumerable crimes Eating at the energy Poisoning the air Biting at the Bitumen Consuming unaware

Bench seat snoozling A first romance American Graffiti Driving to the dance Pedal to the metal Speedo starts to climb Feeling in fine fettle The very best of times

Lights are dazzling A flashing gaze Peach hammer images Knife through haze Sending the passengers Crashing through laminate Heaven bound messengers Not now but never, better late

A Chorus of Cars This sad refrain Weapons of choice Again and again We can’t live without them These wonderful toys Red for the girls Yellow for the boys
