C is the Carport

by Mama Baer

____________________ Step out the side door to the east, the door our fam'ly used the most, and you'll be standing underneath the carport roof: two cars it boasts. There, in plain sight, at least to me, our '65 Volkswagen bug with light-blue paint, the sunroof crank, the screwdriver we used to lug tucked underneath the driver's seat. "Why?" you may ask. Here's why. You see, this handy tool, it'd start the bug if ever you forgot your key! Our bug's the car I learned to drive. Dad, shotgun, called out, "Clutch!" and "Shift!" The heater barely warmed my toes; just static on the radio. The first time I met my husband I was driving that old blue bug. Carport memories bubble up, and give my heartstrings a firm tug. ____________________
