“keep your spirits up”
the old saying goes
a trite but true phrase
for the foot that pushes
the pedal on the vehicle
and propels you forward
accelerates and slows down
gets you somewhere fast
or drives like an old lady
respect it like you would
spark plugs keep it clean
ready to fire
the danger of old age
is no longer passing anything
but always being passed
and if parked too long
the engine won’t turn over
refusing to start
and in the sneakiest of ways
nibbling at the edges
of your life
rust does the rest
