The Mechanic Writes a Love Poem

You got my heart beating at scouring velocity I bet 
The colors of your paint job would be Flambeau and desert sunset 

You got more juice than a Holley 650 double pump carburetor
As kind and cool as the interior of a 68 continental coach door
 
Your mouth was built with the precision of a go no go gauge
Your voice the soothing hum of a well-bathed metal lath

With a mind that’s as on point as a floor-mounted drill press
The drafting baton that laid down your lines, curvaceous

Another thing I noticed is you shine brighter than chrome 
With the simple yet complex beauty of a geodesic dome
