Auto Poem by Vera Sidhwa

Automobile

This car had it's mind set
On driving carefully.
But I always
Didn't care for that.

I drove crazily
Because it was fun.
The day was done
But the night set my mind on driving again.

The trouble it caused
Was that others were in danger.
I finally thought, I was the cause of it.
So I stopped my driving in that way.

This car had it's mind set
On driving carefully
But now I drive
Very carefully.
