71 Skylark Car

Driving in my 71 skylark car

wondering if this piece of shit will go far

nothing to lose step on gas

lets see if this mother fucker will go really fast

from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds flat

then my boyfriend was thrown backwards from the seat he sat

came to a stop light slammed on the breaks

a coped told us to pull over and this no mistake

flicked the fucker off and slammed on petal

and we turned on the radio and listened to so metal

cope chased us but in there dismay

in the end we got away

I really liked this poem. Actually I don't believe I've read a poem of yours I didn't like. You seem to be a very accomplished writer. If you don't mind I would appreciate it if you would read a few of my works, tell me what you think about them, and give me some pointers.

You spelled "cop" as "cope". I really don't think there's anything I could possibly say, any hyperbole that could capture the essence of stupidity as well as that does. I know when I'm beaten.

I'm sure there are plenty of things that are faster than your shitty car, and one of them is the time it took me to understand that you're an idiot.

I hope that the next time you drive this car, you, Sam and her boyfriend are told to pull over by another cop. And I hope you "flick him off" again, and then "0 to 60 in 3 seconds flat" into a wall that I planted quickly while you were distracted by giving the finger to the cop. And then the three of you will die and the world will be a better place.
