John Hanscomb Poet Ode

Ode To a Classic Car

Ode to a Classic Car


Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam
And a very fine Sunbeam I’d make
He’s invited me
For a nice cup of tea
And a slice of his cherry-mint cake

So Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam
And a Sunbeam’s a very nice car
But if I had my choice
I would be a Rolls Royce
A much more grand motor by far.

But Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam
So I take a last sip at my tea
If Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam
Then like it or not
I’ll give it a shot
And a Sunbeam is what I will be!

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
