“Fifty Thousand Dollar Dream”

I’m dreaming of a candy apple red car.

Make it metallic — I’ll sure drive it far.

Its beauty should sparkle in the bright sunlight.

It will tickle my soul with loving delight.

Make all the chrome rims shine like a mirror.

Grandma wants to see her reflection clearer.

I’m certainly not an old fuddy duddy to dream like this;

But if you buy me my dream car; I’ll give you a big kiss.

Make it one of my favorites; a Mustang, or Corvette.

Make either one purr like a kitten for me– I’ll be all set.

Then please stay away, don’t touch my precious jewel,

Or I’ll clobber you with my shoe for being a dumb fool.

What a beautiful dream car, of candy apple red;

It would cost me mega monies, an arm and a leg!

So, I guess I’ll keep dreaming. And driving my clunker.

It’s reliable; it gets me from A to B and is a paid off junker.
