Ode to the DAEWOO

You were the first car I purchased with my own money,

I walked into the dealership and they thought they were funny.

They saw "sucker" written all over my face,

so they told me that they would cut right to the chase.

A car they would find to help fit in my budget,

the car company didn't exist, but they would just fudge it.

"A beautiful Daewoo is the best car for the price"

Later to find out it was worth less then rice.

I drove that old Daewoo and never had trouble

Though ridiculed and mocked for buying such rubble.

Some called her "Daepoo", but they didn't know

that she was my friend and would always go.

Today is the day that I sold the old girl.

I hope the new owner will realize the pearl

of a car, that has gotten a bad wrap

but runs like a gem and doesn't smell like crap.

Goodbye, goodbye my trusty old car

I know you will continue to go very far.
