 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

My first car
Today it is a classic
"1956" Green Ford Custom
$400 dollars out the door
Ain't inflation wonderful
Today $400 plus to repair the door
So my surprise
The fob on my driver's
side door would not work
On my "2004" Honda Odyssey Van
All the other doors worked
Simple fix right?
Dealership charged $395.00
To install a twenty dollar Chinese made part
We tore the door apart and installed it
for $20.00 It still would not work
The dealership charges $400 to install a module
Charged $159.00 to find the problem
My Ford Custom locked the door with a key
I am throwing away the $300 bob
So I pulled up to the corner of the local Safeway
Young kid was throwing a football with a friend
He was smoking a cigarette
The sign said, "Homeless needs help!"
So I rolled down the window and said,
"Sure man--give up smoking that well help!"
I am making a sign
Need a lock to lock drivers door
This dude standing next to me stole my football
