Hurst/Olds

Warning: this is weird

1969
442
Hurst
Olds

Quad headlights
Custom paint
Dual hood scoops
Sleek wing

More than point A to B
That's obvious to see

Built for speed
That's it's need

Crafted for style
That can last awhile

Forged to rumbe
That makes lesser men stumble

You can't be contained
You must be tamed

1969
442
Its sublime
I'm the one who will master you

Hurst
Olds
Comes in first
Under blue tarp folds

Quad headlights
Custom paint
You don't like to fight
But you're far from a saint

Dual hood scoops
Sleek wing
I'll put you through the hoops
Make your enjen sing

Author's Note

My uncle has a car restoration shop. A 1969 Hurst/Olds 442 (Oldsmobile) was brought in under some tarp and he's getting paid to restore it and that inspired this, weird poem.

I like this one as one of your better poems. We usually write better about the thing we know so well.

Huh. Thanks man!

Sure Harley!
