With time working in his favor ...
Barry's good driving record
Offers Mom's mindset and comfort zone reason to expand
And before too long ...
This personable, young driver has earned the privilege
Of parental permission to squire his friends to lunch
One day, while chauffeuring his buds, both guys and gals
Barry finds it impossible to get back to school
And as this smart jock has the good fortune
To place his trust in more than one life coach ...
He calls his dad for guidance:
Dad! Something bad happened to Big Red—suddenly
There was a huge noise ... Then
I could feel her whole bottom scraping along the street
Dad asks Barry if he has his AAA card in his wallet.
Sure!
Well, call for help and get yourself back to school
Though this news is not to Dad's liking ...
Barry's teen-aged spirit can't help but leap with hope that perhaps ...
Big Red, the family war horse, has actually dropped dead!
Meaning this teen is done driving our tired, old carpooling machine ...
Post suggesting difficulty in separating youthful mindset from its dreams :)
After football practice, Barry hitches a ride home with a buddy
Upon walking into the kitchen my son learns, much to his dismay
That hope of burying Red is dashed to smithereens, because
Rather than being down for the count
Her strong spirit is still alive and kicking ...
Standing her ground ... fighting for her right to survive by
Gulping down Dad's hard earned cash, which pays for brackets and bolts
That cost much less than the labor of putting Red together again
And thus, big as life ... Big Red limps back into Barry's life
Where she courageously carries the smart jock
To school and lunch and home for at least a few more ...
DAYS! :)
