Broken Man

I put all of my faith within you
Lavished upon you
All the love money could buy
Nurtured you
Cherished ever part of you
But once again you let me down
What more can a man do
I would ask myself repeatedly
I felt so proud
At all the admiration you received
When we went about town
I did not mind all the envy
Shown towards me
And those looks
Of pure want from other males
Could you not feel
All my adoration
That spilt
Over and made me weep
Did you not sense the emotions?
As I ran my fingers over
The sleekness of your lines
Caressed the contours
Of your wondrous body
Why oh why
Did you let me down once again!!
And now, I shall abandon you
As you abandoned me
In future
I shall tread more carefully
And buy myself a Ford!

About this poem:

Men and their cars!!, the great compensator, I wrote this about four years ago, it still makes me smile. We used to have a funny night on here, those were the days, for those who can remember.

I was on the edge of my seat reading this, never expected such an ending, I am laughing now, loved this Rob.

Hi Rob,

My experience with the opposite gender is always to tread carefully and never take anything for granted. As for buying a Ford...life is too short. Keep the aspirations high...at least a Mercedes. Cheers mate.

Hiya Rob, too funny!
I love your write hahahaha

Maybe cars are to men what chocolate is to women?

although, chocolate never lets women down, albeit a sugar
high!

Excellent piece Mr Rob. It is a common denominator between man and machine but for me I am simply a motor head by blood and passion. I became an engineer for my love of machines and gears and now I have a custom auto shop. So when it comes to cars and trucks its just love and adrenaline no time for women when Im blowing past them . Well done…Jesse

It must have been an older Hyundai that let you down. If you get yourself a Ford, get a vintage one. If you want style and class, but dont mind paying 1000 usd for an alternator, get a Mercedes or BMW. If you don't want to be let down again...........look to Japan...
