I have a Crossfire and need to locate a bumper for it, so I wrote a poem about being frustrated.
Crossfire Bumper 5159183AA Cries Out
My Crossfire spirit lays wounded from too many sad dreams,
Where upon a Nashville trip, a Ben Franklin coat was stolen.
That upon looking for cheap gas, this poet had an accident,
Right before Christmas, which was celebrated alone, in prayer.
Sad procrastination of depressions among Nationwide Victoria cries.
They made an estimate of $3500, with my rates sky rocking higher.
First accident claimed from 1970, upon this retirement poetic budget,
But she is my Guardian Angel, upon the road of crosswind’s Crossfire.
The back window also, just fell out one day going down the road,
Thought I had run over something, so I went back finding nothing.
Later seeing my baby had separated with those factory fabric defects,
Along with foggy headlamps, that Chrysler used, saying it was my fault.
Dealer, says I need a new top, ($2400) try to get insurance to pay for that
Or for the Daimler Chrysler German made blurry lower quality standard.
Had it had Mercedes Benz on it, they would have loved to help this poet.
But because it has an American name, that makes it inferior in warrantee.
Yes, my baby lets Ben Franklin hair get all tied up in windy tangled knots.
So when I take her top down, Velcro strips now hold a window to the roof.
I now pack my belonging in plastic bags, for the trunk leaks somewhere.
So, when I check into motel dreams, (having no permanent home anymore),
I must evacuate or things will get moldy or stained upon German Engineering.
The driver strap was twisted from the factory, but my “POETS” loves this frame.
I may have to sell my sweetheart because of Nationwide Victoria Cheney prices.
Wish I had a NASCAR sponsor and/or had an Earnhardt racing poetic name.
But right now I will just settle for a 5159183AA bumper, for it is backordered.
If you can find one, please contact Bay Lincoln Mercury Dodge Suzuki
In Panama City, maybe someone inside Daimler Chrysler will help this poet
That was “Terminated for Poetry” by Mercedes Benz then forced to live his dream
That wanders the roads of America’s Freedom upon winds of Crossfire wings.
Note: If you can help this poet find this part, the dealers phone number is (850) 785-1591. I understand if you choose not to. It is a 2005 Crossfire Vin 1C3AN65L15X028436. If one has a super cheap top deal (One where the top stays together), let me know. My Velcro Crossfire is holding, but with the way German Quality leaks, I may drown going down the road, swimming a song. The POETS is my baby’s license to drive. I get frustrated and rant knowing nothing will happen, but do you know what, this Walking Wounded Vietnam Veteran has earned the right to vent Free Speech. I learned to rant after I came home and found America judging others.
