First Car, Costly Lesson

There once was a boy newly licensed to drive
put the pedal to metal, flying high and alive
should have taken more care,
he was quite unaware
that his good luck would soon take a dive.

In his haste to go play
he failed to yield right-of-way
oh my, what a bother-
other driver - his father!
A dark cloud passed over his day.

No one hurt in the crash
boy no longer so brash
dad not amused
son paid his dues
and saw his chevy carted off with the trash.

    Hi John - Clever and interesting way to tell your story! Costly lesson, but it sounds like the good result was that no one was hurt and that's always the most important thing. Thank you so much for your comments about my poetry. - Gail

    this is timely - and so true. my daughter just had her first encounter with a fence post. That first one is a learning lesson. Thanks for reading so many of my ku - appreciate it!
