Buckle Up Now

Buckle up now
And hold on tight                                                                                       
Gonna be my co-driver
You need to shout it right
We’re gonna be going
At some really hairy speeds
You’re my navigator
The one instructing me
 
 
 
 
I need that information
To plan the road ahead
Yes I need it quick girl
So get that in your head
So buckle up now
And hold on tight
You’re in for the ride
The ride of your life
 
 
 
 
We’ve gotta keep on going
We’re racing against the clock
To get to that check point
We’ll give it all we got
Racing through this forest
As fast as we can go
Close between these trees
Wipers going to and throw
So            
 
 
 
       
Buckle up now
And hold on tight
Gonna be my co-driver
Please shout it right
We’re gonna be going
At some really hairy speeds
You’re the navigator
The one instructing me
 
 
 
 
We’re gonna be driving
Over different terrains
In all kinds of weather
It’s gonna be insane
Doing Speeds over
A hundred MPH
In pitch black darkness
Feel that awesome power
So
 
 
 
 
Buckle up now
And hold on tight
Gonna be my co-driver
Please shout it right
We’re gonna be going
At some really hairy speeds
You’re my navigator
The one instructing me
 
 
 
 
It takes a lot to focus
You’ve got to have the skill
Adjusting to conditions
Behind this rally wheel
One mistake is costly
I need the pacenotes quick
Just say it in advance
As we go into this drift

I found your poem during a research paper on poetry for school (I really thought I hated poetry). Do you mind if I ask what inspired you to write this poem using rally racing? I really liked this one! Thanks

Thanks John, Glad you enjoyed it. What exactly inspired me was watching rally and my love for cars. A bit more exciting with your girl besides you to edge you along. But ! she's got to shout it right to over power the roaring sound of the engine. Best Wishes Kevin
