Ode to Power Steering

WOW!!!! It has been too long since I have been on here. Since I returned to Cape Town I have spent many hours looking for a reliable car. Many of you have heard my car woes over the past two years. I am so excited to move on and get a better car, but that is easier said than done here in Africa. It has been a little stressful dealing with car salesman who must think I was born yesterday, and trying to sell my car at the same time. Anyway, in my excitement to soon (fingers crossed) welcome power steering back into my life, and to relieve some of the stress of buying and selling a car here, I came up with this little number. I hope it at least makes you chuckle...it is meant to. I hope this is the last picture of the 1999 CitiGolf  I ever post...

Ode to Power Steering

Remember when we first met? I was just fifteen.
You were so sweet. You were never mean.
I would turn to the left and to the right.
Never once did you give me a fright.
For many years it was just you and me.
I could drive AND sip on my tea.
I took you for granted, of that I am sure.
And now I am left wondering if there is ever a cure...

Time crept forward, and I needed to move on.
I needed to see what the fish were like outside of this pond.
But never did I dream that I would break our bond.
I am left wishing I had a magic wand.
I would bring you back into my life with one swift wave.
And never again would I misbahave.
I would put on our favorsite song.

You know the one we sang to as I drove along.

I would tap on your wheel, and we would drive away.

Now I am left wondering if I will ever see that day.

My arms are stronger without you, of that I am sure.

But my heart is dark now, and not as pure.

Will I ever go back to the days when turning was like butter?

The thought of a world without you, makes me shutter.

Power steering- I am your biggest fan, the president of your club!

Can I return back now, to my first love?

Lets hope and pray that this is the last week (of my entire life) of driving without power steering! Never again will I take you for granted!!!!!
