wow, I've been offline for years, and I just decided to check in to see what has been happening here, and I see my ten year old poem reposted!
Cool! But, yes, in retrospect, Haiku may have been a better format.
I still have the carb, and the car, and its still sitting in storage, alas, untouched since I wrote that poem. :-(
Happy new year to all! I wish you all many happy miles in your Firebirds!
