SPEED DEMON
Roaring through streets like a car possessed,
Lane changing rapidly--making a mess
Of even flowing traffic.
Using all horses, surpassing all gears---the Speed Demon.
Flying over bridges and down on-ramps,
Like a streak of light--an ominous vamp.
Pursuing high speeds, screeching tires;
Rolling atop undulating highways--
the Speed Demon fires!
A passing red shadow like burning lightning,
A will-o'-the-wisp if you dare,
A fancy sight forcing a stare.
Long beautiful brown mane, dark glasses--the Speed Demon passes!
With such exquisite features, the Speed Demon is a tantalizing creature.
