Red Roadster


RUBY TUESDAY

RED ROADSTER

Blake fancied a Ferrari when he was six years old,
And not the sort of Dinkie car a little boy can hold!
He knew he couldn't have one for at least a year or two,
So standing by a bright red one would simply have to do.
When we went to the museum, there was the very one,
Shining with the redness of a brightly setting sun.
I took a photo of him since photos were allowed.
I know he didn't own it but, my goodness, he looked proud!

Another car, another boy here;

So are you buying him one for his next birthday? Just think of how happy he would be!

What kid doesn't fancy themselves in a flashy red sporty Ferrari?? A perfect dream until you actually have to buy the insurance! But a beauty, and al Italian sports cars look absolutely perfect in ruby!

Blake is handsomer than the Ferrari and he won't go out of style.

I love that smile! The car's not bad either --- just imagining a road trip in that is making me smile too.

What a cute post and great young fellow. No matter the age, we all have dreams.

Blake’s red Ferrari
will live in his dreams—his smile,
like the car’s paint, gleams.


A red-eyed fish!
