An Ode to Bessie

Helen's car passed on last week. When she wrote to inform me, this is how I responded

An Ode to Bessie

I'll never forget
how we used to jet
all over Summit,
blastin' the latest hit!

Cypress Hill was a fave.
Then again, so was Dave!
Many bargains were made
with Hells Bells to parade

How I'll miss Bessie
She was never messy
Helen kept her like new
She was one of our crew.

Rest in peace, Bessie girl!
Long live the summers of our lives--shared and otherwise.

Yup, we all shed a tear for dear, old Bessie. I'm just not sure Fred can live up to her legacy.
