My First Love

My First Love

By Paul McCann

We went everywhere together ,

my HR and me .

To the beach and the drive ins ,and into the city .

We went late night shopping

and to the weekend football ,

everywhere we went you could hear her wolf whistle call .

Lowered at the front with chrome wheels and  wide rubber tyres .

then somebody stole her from me by crossing her wires .

I found her abandoned there on the side of a road ,

she was in pretty bad shape so

I just had  her towed  .

With an 8 track cartridge player

she sounded brand new

then an Impala floor shift and some extractors too ,

now we were rumbling every where that we went ,

I lost count of all the money on her that I spent .

Then late one night they took her from  outside my front door ,

and trashed her and burnt her out ,

the HR  I adored.
