Rubáiyát of a Motor Car

"Rubáiyát of a Motor Car" by Carolyn Wells is a playful poem that makes fun of the "Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám," using the theme of early 20th-century motoring. It's a funny look at the ups and downs of owning a car back when they were new and exciting. The poem is full of jokes and smart observations about technology and how silly people can be, showing both the thrill and annoyance of having a car. Readers travel with the narrator as he deals with his car, making funny comments about wanting the newest models, the weird stuff that happens when fixing cars, and how people act when they travel by car. With bright descriptions and clever writing, Wells paints a fun picture of what it was like to drive a car back then, while also making light of modern life's craziness. It's a fun read for anyone who likes to think about how technology and people mix.
