Rumble Seat Lovin
Mom and Dad hitched a ride
in a Rumble seat on the back of a car
It was their first encounter by far
Love is like hitching your hopes to a Star
Mom was sixteen and never been kissed
Dad simply swept her off her feet and never missed
a date after that except when he feel asleep
Dad was a 'cobbler' and had his own shop
at the mature age of twenty-two old enough to woo
Mom who worked at the dime store across the street
They tied the knot with a marriage fit for the elite
Within a year I appeared wrinkled and screaming
Now sixty-nine years later, I am still dreaming
the same old Valentine verses that ignited the love
sweeping through the ages where Lovers in a Cove
hear sounds of twittering and see stories in Stars
of Orion and Bears and Dippers too riding in a car
with a Rumble seat
hitching your hopes to a Star
