Hauf's Auto Salvage - a photo on Flickriver

            A car is just a car!

A car is a car 
If it can ride you nearby or far 

A car is a car 
When it gets you in time to the bar 

A car is a car 
When you are addressed as Madam or Sir 

But for some 
A car is not just a car 
It is a home 
After a daylight roam 
It is a home 
After a nightly roam 
Kind of like a homelessness 
Reoccurring syndrome 

Now give me any banger of a car 
I’ll give it hotly showers of a sauna 
Play sweet tunes to it from a guitar 
By the time you watch me stand by it 
And pose with an exotic cigar 
Waiting to take you out to dinar 
You may even prefer it to a modernised jaguar 

You see, to me 
A car is just a car 
Be it in a new silver shining coat 
Or one decorated with tarnished scars 
The simple reality 
Is they all have similar 
Passenger capacity 

Whether be it a personalised 8 seater stretch limousine 
Or a Ferrari with an exploding roaring engine 
A car is a car 
A vehicle of motion 
A medium of transportation 
Even when it shows signs of erosion 
As long as it can move from junction to junction 
I personally sanction 

A car is just a car
