Clint in his youth
Ode to Clint
Farewell Dear Clint -
Thou wert my trusted friend
Loyal and true to the very end
We travelled far and journeyed wide,
Courage grew with you on my side.
I parked you in villages far away
And polished your bonnet every day
But now dear chap the end is nigh -
I'll remember you sweetly till I die.
Clint and The Pudding - a dynamic pair
You drove me just about everywhere.
Now another driver will turn your key
Someone else - who isn't me.
Oh dear, is Clint's demise near? Perhaps another gear? Oh dear, oh dear.
ReplyDeleteHave no fear/A different vehicle will soon be here!
DeleteWhat?! You're selling Clint?! Nooooo!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMany love affairs end in separation Jennifer. We have to boldly move on.
DeleteSometimes we have an emotional attachment to things like cars.
ReplyDelete...or even wives!
DeleteParting is such sweet sorrow.
ReplyDeleteA single tear runs down my cheek.
DeleteI am so sad I cannot speak.
What happened to Clint???
ReplyDeleteClint is now no more than a casino chip in an automobile deal.
DeleteWere't = were it.
ReplyDeleteWert = archaic second-person singular past tense of verb to be.
Loyalty - apparently not a two-way street.
wart = a small, hard, benign growth on the skin, caused by a virus
DeleteWhy are you giving up Clint?? Are you buying a new car or giving up driving? How will you get to your walking places?
ReplyDeleteA newer and better motor vehicle will take Clint's place.
DeleteThinking of you at the difficult time.
ReplyDeleteIt's like when Starsky and Hutch finally split.
DeleteAww..poor old Clint. To be thrust aside and spurned so heartlessly by his faithless partner
ReplyDeleteWell, Lewis Hamilton left McLaren for Ferrari!
DeleteAlas, poor Clint, we knew him well! A sad ending for a faithful friend.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the next owner treats him well.
DeleteBye Clint!
ReplyDeleteWhats the name of the next auto?
Not been decided yet Kylie - but it won't be Donald or Elon - that's for sure!
DeleteYeh gonna catch the bus then? Perhaps wise at your age.
ReplyDeleteI was going to call the new car Andrew after you but not any more!
DeleteAh, goodbye to Clint. I had an old Subaru that I named Barbara...I called her Barb for short. Parting was such sweet sorrow, but it had to be done.
ReplyDeleteYou'll miss Clint, that's for sure, but a new car with gizmos will give you more.
ReplyDeleteFunny how we do fall in love a little bit with our cars.
ReplyDeleteYou could call your new car Kit like Knight Rider.
ReplyDeleteHow many years, how many miles, how many smiles together? The only car I regret trading was a very basic Mazda estate, it was so simple and fundamental, and I was pressured into buying something much-much nicer.
ReplyDeleteWhat vehicle are you getting to replace Clint?
ReplyDeleteIt's the end of an era! So tell us about the new car...?!
ReplyDeleteNew adventures waiting for both of you, but separately, it sound like! :)
ReplyDeletethat car looks in better nick than the last three or four that i've owned!!
