Duke’s Poem

From a car

to a star.

It used to be old and blue,

Now it’s converted, like new.

It’s become a super hero,

instead of a gas-guzzling zero.

Because of its original design:

The black fins, the stickers. It. Is. Fine.

They beg to go for a ride.

Oh the joy, no one can hide.

And then you go get an ice cream cone!

This happiness cannot be outgrown.

It makes every kid within us smile,

for a mile all the way up the Nile.

You put on that fun mask,

It’s a must, no need to even ask 

The wind in your hair, you’ve never felt so real,

After having ridden in the Batmobile!

Written in collaboration with my Dad, Duke Ellingson.
