Good Reactions

Fabulous week of favourable reactions to my book, thank you dear friends who bought a copy or the kindle version. Lovely birthday party for a talented singer/songwriter on Sunday, she sang one of her own compositions that I love and have her permission to share below. All rights of the owner of copyright in these written lyrics reserved.  No copying, public performance or broadcasting of these lyrics without consent of the author.



I'm a Vintage Model, Baby  C  Jennifer Lees 2010

I'm a vintage model, baby, built for comfort not for speed
If you want a slow and steady ride this model's what you need
I'm not some flashy sports coupe that's quick to reach the ton
I may be slow to get up steam, but this engine sure can run.
Refrain: 
I'm a vintage model, baby,  I'll take you for a ride
I'm a vintage model, baby, slip inside.
I'm a vintage model, baby, my chassis' a little worn
My ducos' cracked and faded, my upholstery is torn
My crankshaft 's getting cranky, my differential's differential
But I'm a classic convertible with a lot of torque potential.
Refrain
I'm a vintage model, baby, my temperature gauge is broke
My valves they need re-boring, my engine needs some choke
My parts need lubricating, my ball joints are wearing out
My rear suspension's sagging and there is little doubt that
I'm a vintage model, baby, I'll take you for a ride
I'm a vintage model, baby, slip inside.
I'm a vintage model, baby, let me take you for a ride
Forget my rough exterior and gently slip inside
Rev the engine slowly and when its running smooth
Be gentle with the clutch as you slip into the groove.
Refrain
I'm a vintage model, baby, with a gear shift stuck in low
Radiator's overheating and the pressure's gonna blow!
Engage the clutch now, baby, make sure the brake is off!
Pump that gas now, baby, this old car is taking off!
Many thanks Jenny, you are a talented lady.
