One day we will
line up in exotic
destinations, waiting
for a tour guide
to pull up in an automobile.
He will rattle off
a litany of facts,
figures and interesting
anecdotes, punctuated
with just the right amount
of humor, as we
hang our arms out
the rolled down windows,
soaking in the sights
and the quaint ambience
of nostalgia that comes
from riding in cars.

Hoping the cars will be futuristic and skyward bound. Very enjoyable ditty.
WOW! Very amazing work!!
Humorous take on the prompt... "He will rattle off a litany of facts, figures and interesting anecdotes, punctuated with just the right amount of humour."
This is very realistic and clever; I imagine an old fashioned Sunday drive will be for the elite soon enough.
Wonderful piece, and a very likely prediction. Well done.
