Ode To A Vehicle

With Kevlar tires, roof rack, and gas cans, too,
Gear shift of river rock, plus winch and jack -
Equipped for anything you’d like to do
Wherever you would like to go, and back.

We drove to Percha Box and Kilbourne Hole,
To Aden Crater and to Timberon,
Out to the desert (restful for the soul) -
Just some adventures where we all have gone.

And though your ownership of it is done,
Imagination seeds by it were sown.
Its form –so marvelous – inspired one
To purchase a Suzuki of his own.

Godspeed, the Jeep, you will serve someone well
And build new memories and tales to tell.
