Phillis Wheatley Poem

A Farewell to Clifford

So long, to your cherry red paint

working as mirror when I am in haste.

You left me too soon

and our time was cut short.

So long, to your wonderful gas mileage,

that saved me so much money.

You were my first love

and will always have a special place in my heart.

So long, to the rev of your engine,

a sound that gave me great joy.

I will always remember

the places we've been together.

So long, to your seats

that envelop me in comfort.

You will be hard to replace

but it is a necessary evil. 

So long, to all the heads you turn

and the compliments that you get.

We had a good run

that I will always remember.

So long to Clifford,

my first car and my first love.

You saved my life

and I will be forever grateful.
