my jalopy

I'd like to find a jalopy
used or pre-owned no matter
but she has to be traveled and
able to start in the morning
her motor softly rumbling and
only leaks a little when used
her radio'd play the old tunes
and be up-to-date enough to
know a few of the new ones

we'd ride the back roads
past the old ways and woulds
turn toward the big city
to go and see some show
I'd buy a token and we'd
cross the bridge to populace
grandly we'd ride to town and
see the sidewalks stop briefly
as I'd steer her hand and hand

I really enjoyed this light hearted piece that can be perceived in not only one way.
