Tesla

For Poetry Soup competition 'Sing me... a jingle' sponsored by Lyric Man Entered May 26th 2015 It's the future and it's here today, gonna change the way you drive So come out the dark, reignite the spark and make your driving come alive Tesla Tesla it's the best electric car Tesla Tesla an hour's juice and you'll go far If you're buying a new ve-hi-cle though you're really spoilt for choice There is only one car that you want, so join with us and raise your voice Tesla Tesla it's the best electric car Tesla Tesla an hour's juice and you'll go far Tesla's got no petrol engine so less element of risk and the whole things whisper quiet, sounds just like an electric whisk Tesla Tesla A to B without a sound Tesla Tesla they won't hear you knock 'em down Three hundred miles of driving pleasure when the battery's fully charged And you get tons of free envelopes, 'coz your energy bills quite large Tesla Tesla for the ultimate driving thrill Tesla Tesla power output of Brazil We have ironed out the problems folks, so it cannot be our fault when overtaking buddies laugh at you when you car grinds to a halt Tesla Tesla buy one now and knock 'em dead But if you like the smell of gasolene get the new Mustang instead.

I've always wanted a Mustang... fond memories of a girlfriend who owned one, and I remember digging her out of a snow drift once. Tesla sounds like a supermarket chain to me! BRAVO Viv! Best wishes, Keith

A man of taste, Keith, I see- it would be a '65 convertible or the '69 fastback for me. Thanks for dropping by, regards, Viv

Thanks for blowing the dust off this one, Arthur. Regardless of environmental efficieny, I'd still rather have a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach1 Cobra Jet anytime. Or a 1970's Plymouth Barracuda with the 7.2 litre engine. I'm not fussy. Regards, Viv

Very entertaining jingle, Viv! The Maltese are still not convinced about electric cars! They love cars with a voooooom! Congrats on your win...well deserved. // paul

I have to agree, Paul, I almost got mown down by a new electric car, and it was disturbingly quiet. They're on about giving them an engine noise, which sort of defeats the object, I think. Regards, Viv

G'day Viv... great jingle mate, but does it represent Tesla or Mustang? Enjoyed - Lindsay

Well, Tesla initially, but I started nitpicking it toward the end. Personally I'd have a Mustang. I'm afraid neither would be any good to you, judging by your poems, so you'll have to treat yourself to a Holden Colorado- looks like the type of car you can drive up the wall to fix your TV aerial.

Your message is poetically expressed and politically correct, with a little humor thrown in for good measure. Well done. Emile.

Love this one. I'll take the new mustang. I rarely ever attempt to sneak up on anybody using my car.. A7....

Given the money, I'd opt for the '65 Mustang convertible and the '69 Mach I Cobra Jet fastback. With cars like that, you really need to tell folk that you're approaching. And you can be sure that they'll know when you're leaving. Thanks for dropping by, in a non-electric fashion. Regards, Viv
