Ode to my Mazda3

Ode to my Mazda3

You were a wonderful car, my Mazda3

you will be missed, terribly

When I had nothing else to call my own

you, my Mazda3, became my home

I'll always remember the many miles we did roam

...from Kirtland to Palmyra and DC to LA

then right up the ole West coast

to Seattle we made our way

your turning radius couldn't be beat

you ran so well, in rain and snow and sleet

what a joy! shifting you was so much fun

and opening the little roof to enjoy the sun

you got great gas milage so money I did not burn

and you held your value and gave me my money in return

You were a highlight to the most horrible year
don't be surprised if I happen to shed a tear

So enjoy your new life if you can

because my next car will likely be a tin can!
