I wish I was a race car

I wish I was a race car, driving on the track

My engine will sound like AC/DC: cause I’m back in black

Turning along the curves, my wheels scream loudly

No matter how well I do, my drive gets paid hourly

Burnt rubber and gasoline, 

I’m a famous car, with my picture on a magazine 

I have many fans, that cheer my name

However I have to win the race, to reclaim my fame

Whether I’m in Florida or another southern state

All I hear is “I am great!”

Float like a Cadillac, sting like a Beemer

And I am more than just a race car, I am a big dreamer


I wish I was a race car, driving on the track

My engine will sound like AC/DC: cause I’m back in black

I made this in thirty minutes before class. I didn't know how to start it, and yet I think this poem is pretty good.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
