My mom wrote a poem after watching the Scorsese (sp?) Dylan Doc on PBS. She wrote this at 2am:
About Bobbie D
He is a character
has character
and the content of his character
is content to be
What it is
I said
What it is

A Eulogy
Stanley Kowalski is dead.
I'm referring to my 95 Taurus that was,like the Streetcar character, big, hot, and had a lot of problems. Now he has too many problems.
His death came about from the leaky transmission fluid that streaked the streets--not dripping, but pouring out like a faucet. I took him to the transmission place who told that he was beyond repair for his worth.
Anyone need to get rid of a well-running car?
