The Cars (a sonnet)

band, poem, and playlist

Thanks to

Writer Pilgrim by So Elite

for bringing this fun prompt to my attention.

I’ve already posted this as a note and a comment, but I had so much fun with it I decided to post it as a post — and here it is as a Spotify playlist.

Ric Ocasek

Candy-O,
let's go —
it's all I can do.

You're all I've got tonight,
moving in stereo
since I held you.

Good times roll,
lust for kicks,
don't cha stop —
I'm in touch with your world.

You can't hold on too long,
misfit kid.
Touch and go.
Don't tell me no.
