Polished
~~~
You have a Jaguar body
With a Pinto heart
Beautiful lines
But hard to start
~~~
Flashy in chrome
Beauty in the show
Classic racing lines
But love much too slow
~~~
Garage kept
Never touches soil
You wash it everyday
But never change the oil
~~~
You rarely purr
You just buck and bark
Carbon-fouled plugs
Providing little spark
~~~
You hide behind
The polish and wax
To shine away
The engine you lack
~~~
I need something more
Something beyond the glow
It is less about the looks
And more about the go
~~~

this one is so cheeky and great!
Thank you, Beth!
HA! What a great way to call out all of those who believe it’s all about how they look on the outside and not who they are on the inside! Men, read this and take heed!
Thanks sis!
That first stanza kills me. 😁
Thank you!
A great poem to all those “plastic” people…especially females but not limited to…that think they are the centre of the bloody universe! Love it! All the best my friend!

Thank you kindly, dear friend!
My pleasure my friend!
Brilliant! I loved the line about the Pinto heart.
Thank you Pete!
Fabulous!! If only more people were taken by what’s within rather than the pretty exterior. So well said!! 👏👏
Thank you dear friend!
it’s what’s on the inside that counts…
Never more true…thanks Jim!
