This is the race that should never have been,
mainly because it is a race I didn’t win.
Heading Saturday morn south on the 405,
kicking back all comfy enjoying the drive.
Going west on Magnolia was a ‘47 Chev,
I wasn’t looking for a race so I didn’t rev.
Evidently he was and he revved thrice,
I took the challenge & picked up the dice.
A funny feeling in my head I didn’t heed,
The Buick jumped ahead & took the lead.
Then all of a sudden a cough and a sneeze,
it slowed & quit dead in its tracks with ease.
Feeling all blue & not knowing what to do,
I jumped on my cell & called on papa Lou.
We met at his shop & he scrutinized my car,
Lou being the expert he is he didn’t look far.
He noted the alky control button was over its limit,
said the motor drank too much alky & couldn’t win it.
I saw this guy’s car at Donut Derelict’s Saturday morning &
put the following not on the front window:
Sir: I apologize for not giving you much of challenging race
last Saturday but the alky setting was way too high & the
motor laid over & died. If you would like to have a go at it
again my home & cell #’s are noted below.
I caught him leaving & went over to him to talk.
It was obvious he wanted no more of the Buick.
Unfortunately, a true accounting of my big race.
mainly because it is a race I didn’t win.

. BTW, I liked your poetic description of the event.
