A Sportier Model

A family estate 
an older model
one which has let itself go
past it's best - you know
miles on the clock
carrying a bit of history - eyes up a sportier
younger model 
across the forecourt
mmm, thinks he'd fancy a test drive with that
or even better
what about a trade-in
he'd always fancied a soft top 
an easily convertable model
a sharp looking 
quick off the mark model
maybe the slightly higher mileage means
she's well run-in
a model with a pedigree 
with great handling
great bodywork - nice curves
a well dressed model
well maintained!

The family estate looks again
but then decides against it - can't afford it anyway
and
drives off 
only to miss the spectacle 
as the sporty model lowers its top on the forecourt
and leaves - topless 
into the setting sun 

...and the moment has passed!
