Black Is the New Red

He liked to drive real fast
Wanting the driving to last
And was clocked at a 253 kmh speed
In a 110 kmh zone so reckless indeed

But the blue caught his black utility
Stopping him with flashing lights too
He thought that black was the new red
Driving without a full licence instead

His learner’s permit for 12 months was suspended
The Holden utility was not registered 
So his made the nightly news
For driving nobody would excuse.
