Pater Automobilias - Lap One
Papa had a penchant
for British automobiles
when I was just a wee lad
he drove a Morris Minor
then Uncle Jerry called to tell
what a neighbor had to sell
a steel steed much finer
Fond memory I have
traveling with dad
a long way down the 101
a seemingly magical vehicle to see
father’s mind set to own
the racing green, 1950 MG TD
Parked, rarely driven
smothered under clutter
In a garage in San Diego
my dad and his brother
unearthed the buried treasure
father with glee
hands over the dough
then back to San Jose we go
newest family member in tow

I loved loved my dad's MG as much as he did. He loved driving it and I loved conjuring fantastical stories about the adventures I would have that magical motocar.

What eventually happened the cars?... if you don't mind me asking? I love both models and can easily picture riding in either with big smiles... I enjoyed these bits of BB nostalgia! It's interesting to get peeks, methinks.
So well penned, BB
I Ty for sharing your memories with with us!

Thank you so much, Lady Blue❣ I'm not sure what dad did with the Morris Minor...I'm assuming he sold it. I have such a clear memory of sitting in a rumble seat in the Morris but I can't find a picture with one.
As for the MG you're gonna hafta wait for lap two 😍
