Janet Wong Poems -- Tuesday
1.   If you were a car… What would you be?
     Why?
                                If I were a car… I
                                would be a 1967
                                Mercedes 190
                                convertible, because
                                it’s timeless, classy,
                                sophisticated, and most
                                importantly, cool;
                                hopefully, I possess a
                                few of those qualities…
