Letting go, its time to part.
The time has come.
For me to say goodbye.
To you me friend.
My faithful friend.
We have aged together.
But never got tired.
We have been to places.
Traveled on lots of trips.
I have looked after you.
I looked after your body.
Gave you all you needed.
And then even more.
You never let me down.
Doing what ever i asked.
Looking after my needs.
And my daily chores.
But as time passes.
Age catches up with us all.
Its our time to part.
A sad day for me.
So for the very last time.
Letting go is hard.
But its time to part.
So goodbye my friend.
Its goodbye to my car.
It’s surprising really how one becomes so attached to a car – it’s often sad to see them go.
YES DB, 6 years i have it.
Oh, how sad. I’ve had my present car for 11 years and we’ve been through a lot together. Don’t tell her, but I’m going to look at another vehicle this afternoon!!! Will you replaced your car with another? I truly hate car shopping.
K8edid, 11 years is a long time, i can’t do with out a car, but i have a car dealer who i ring up and he brings me one, and never let me down.
BTW, can i have your Christian name for my blogroll.
It’s Katy. Get it, K8E?
These ways of spelling Katy, they baffle me
lol I thought you were referring to a body part then I read the last line. Men and their cars …
Lafemmeroar, wife, children then car in that order
Three ways to spell Katy. Must be 50 ways to leave your Volvo…My baby sister out of 4, ( Katy ) passed away this year… She was a spark plug sports model…she is dearly missed.
Bless You

You got me, Harry! I thought your dog died. It’s even worse though. Where do I send oil in lieu of flowers?
Thanks Lorna, i got you , there’s always a punch line in most of my posts
W.L.E. Always read the last line first
Sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Now go get yourself a sexy new sports car!
I’m to old for one Steve, the 4 door hatch back will do me.
When I get rid of my car, I’m going to set it on fire while beating it with a sledgehammer, piece of crap.
That’s sad to hear Pete, sell it to an illegal in your town
i can completely understand. my car needs to be junked, but it was first my grandfather’s car. i got it when he passed on twelve years ago. it’s now twenty five years old. i have a hard time letting go.
You should keep a car of that age, it is made to last.
There aren’t any illegal’s where I live, England *rolls eyes* makes sure of it
I was waiting for the punchline – knew it wouldn’t be a serious poem from you! Good one, my car is 11 years old and she’s fab, just costs a fortune on the insurance! You’ll get discount won’t you cos of your age and all that…..hehehehe
I must try and do a poem with no punchline ( but not yet )
I get a discount because of no accidents for a long time.
Woman’s insurance is cheaper than men’s anyway, so long as they have dark hair
I just had to put that in
DP you are sooooo naughty! Anyhow, my hair IS dark, the blonde comes out of a bottle and costs a bloody fortune to maintain, a bit like my car insurance – can’t wait to be over 50 then I can join Saga.
Saga ? who is Saga. It must be a club for the woman over 50.
Oh yeah…now you Almost had me tearing up there my friend … till the end…what have you been taking lyric lessons from “Neil Young”?
LOL
Very Well Done!!!
paul
Paul, its just i’m becoming a poet
Neil Young is that the person who went to the moon.
Loved that! It’s true, how attached we become to our cars. I had a ’75 Torino for 17 years and finally had to trade it in… cried for hours afterwards. As I always say, “It’s silly to anthropomorphize an inanimate object, but my car loves it!”
Hi Betty, i had to look that big word up before i answered your comment
My next poem also anthropomorphize’s an inanimate object.
But i like it
That’s really, really sad Harry.
I do hope you get another one
David
David you of all people should know Belfast humor
Oh Harry – i would be devasted to say goodbye to mine – she and I are a pair.
I know Jo, its sad, but its only a poem
I know – but it made me realise how I will feel the day she goes – maybe I should just hang on until she is an antique – fix her up and start a new phase – yep sounds like an idea to me.
Good idea Jo, keep it if its working well, and look after it.
Hey, there, Dribbler! This is my first visit to your blog. I usually see you hanging around down there on Brown Road. I still see my last car sometimes being driven by the lady that bought it, who had been driving a crapulous, torn up and rusted thing when she came to see mine. I had shined and cleaned, new sparkly hubcaps, fresh black work everywhere, even new inside carpets. A few months later, I caught her at my grocery store parkinglot, and “my” car was so dirty, the new hubs black with road soot, It made me sad
like maybe I should steal it back and give it a good, loving home again!
HI Spectra, you will see me there and many others
thanks for your visit and please call back.
When she goes into the shops, give it a quick wash and leave a note saying ” this is how the car should be kept ”
HAHA… That was brilliant.
Thanks Sami, i knew you would like it.
Haha – I liked that! I’ve just said goodbye to my ‘friend’ as well. She was getting to be expensive and demanding – and was letting herself go.
Christine thanks for your visit. Once a car starts eating money that’s the day to part company.
Puuuuh! I was afraid to even click and read the rest on the next page! I hope he/she finds it’s way to car heaven.
I know Saarimner, you would think i was talking about a human
That was sad…until I got to the bit about your car. lol.
Thank you sbmartin, there’s always a surprise in my poems
Thanks for making me smile at the punch line. I was already to cry!!
Caroline, you must have liked it to bring you to tears, thanks for your visit, call back.
Like some of your other readers, you had me for a minute. I thought of your dog at first, and then you lost me before hitting me between the eyes with your car. Great job. I hope you can find another dependable one.
Bothered, i seem to have got everyone, i love the punch lines
