REFLECTIONS IN BLACK A drive-by Poem by Flyrod
Through mirror finish and reflections in black
An elegant classic has found it’s way back
For turning heads and getting the stares
For richness and class nothing compares
A nineteen-fifty Oldsmobile ragtop
Gathers a crowd and makes them all stop
It takes them all down memory lane
When they were young and never felt pain
Washing and waxing bring out the shine
Nostalgia sparks thoughts of a better time
Wishing and hoping to bring it all back
The convertible Olds in basic black
The white of the tires and the gleam of the chrome
Your envious wish is to drive this one home
The reflections you see in that polished shine
A distant shadow it’s you in your prime
The dashboard radio is good for the sole
When it plays Mona Lisa by Nat King Cole
If you could go back how would you feel?
What would you give for that black Oldsmobile?
