I had been married to her, <br />for going on five years. <br />Pearl white in colour, <br />and the inline six. <br /> <br />I did not have the heart <br />or what you may consider <br />the inner moral strength <br />to say good-bye to you. <br /> <br />You have been, truly, <br />my very loyal friend, <br />Onehundredninety horses <br />and sweet torque aplenty, <br />you never let me down, <br />you never even once <br />considered faltering, <br />you have been what I'd call <br />a blatant inspiration. <br /> <br />So, do you mind, <br />if I just wave at you, <br />while driving out <br />into the streets of life, <br />while you sit there, <br />a bit forlorn and sad. <br /> <br />I do not know your psyche, <br />although we did <br />spend so much time together <br />and you were there <br />when things got tough <br />and rough and tumble, <br />you had the wherewithall <br />to shrug your fenders, <br />and blink those Osram bulbs <br />as if to say, 'Oh yes we can'. <br /> <br />I hope, with my own, heavy heart <br />that you will find a home, <br />a new companion <br />who treats you well <br />and does appreciate <br />the soul that can be found <br />only in places near <br />the most elusive Edelweiss. <br /> <br />I will remember you <br />with fondness, <br />and I can say <br />that we were <br />such a lucky pair.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/farewell-my-friend-2/
