Flying Machines
Engineering marvels, computers detect
gas pedal engine revving tires will connect
anticipating, intuitive human control
losing yourself in a Sunday afternoon stroll
automatically finding forgotten ways
human ingenuity, technology will amaze
speed of signs, speed that blinds
satellite that finds, the road unwinds
sequential transmission six speed
freeway fast lane lead
stylishly uniform designs
navigation delivering system, defines
consistently quiet, outspokenly bold
purring power turning keys behold
joy to drive, safety features stay alive
luxuriously quick fix, spirit to revive
hugging corners tightly felt
automatic acceleration paint peeling melt
dynamic systems integration
an overall excessively, pleasurable sensation
