				Crunch! says the gravel 
				Under the wheel, 
				Screech! say the tires 
				As they begin to peel. 
				The savory sweet scent, 
				Through an open window wafts. 
				As does the sound of a blackbird, 
				Who cackles and laughs. 
				The wind whips around the car, 
				Like hurricane winds do blow. 
				Trees gently sway, 
				Like pendulums, to and fro. 
				A bright sun peeks from behind a cloud, 
				Glinting, gleaming, in the glass. 
				I say goodbye to this mystical place, 
				As the openness starts to pass. 
				Entering the city, we’re welcomed, 
				By a harsh, rumbling clatter. 
				Leaving behind a dwelling of peace, 
				And all that really matters.
