A Winters Tale. A Poem revisited and a new one for my C5G/CNG family

A Winters Tale .

The time has come to wonder why,
Our play all stops when snowflakes fly.
It's not our fault the salt is foe
It's just a fact our cars won't know.

As you clean and wipe her down
Use love and care and do not frown.

Her cover is on and lights turned down low
Her cylinders quiet. her exhaust won't flow
For winter is here and it surely will snow.

So remember on Thanksgiving,you gave thanks to your friend
She brought you all smiles until the season came to an end.
and Christmas Day will bring you cheers
Of modifications, if your checkbook clears.

Come Valentines Day your eyes will remember
That sexy old car, fender to fender
The fleece or satin keeps her sexy and warm
While you pay some attention
To that other misinformed
She thought she was your one and only
Until your purchase of a Bowtie pony

It seems a long time before you'll search for those keys
Along with the easter eggs and chocolate bunnies
But soon it will roar and awaken the Groundhog
With flow from your catbacks and a nice blast of smog

His prediction for spring will cause tires to bend
It just a short winter you have to contend

A New short Winter Poem for my C5G/CNG family.

I washed her today
and clay-barred her fray

and sprinkled some wax
enough to pay this winters tax

and made her wheels clean
for any proper machine

and conditioned her seats
so as winter time passed
she could weather the pleats

I covered her up
and wrapped her all tight
so no salt nor cold
would get to her plight.

I will keep her alive
with a trickle of juice
so when spring comes
she will quack like a goose.
