memory  father trembling logic fumbling

untie tight knot shoes trying anger

3WW #462 given words:

harrowing imperfect lame

Food for thought so clear in his mind

In memory of his late father trembling

A harrowing experience he remembered

Defied logic in this imperfect world

How did this mean looking machine go

Faster than a horse he could not fathom

He was fumbling in thoughts when as a tiny

Tot he was invited to climb on board the car

As though to untie a tight knot of his shoes

Akin to trying to suppress anger more than fright

A lame effort as he was just as excited

As a joey out of the pocket for the first time
He still remembered it very well

It had happened many many years ago

One fine morning his father brought it home

A Ford A a more modern version of the classic Ford T

Still a mean looking machine he mused quietly

The first of its kind in the neighborhood
