Passed

Congratulations you’ve done it!
And with flying colours too.
But then we knew you could do it
We had every faith in you.
Although your nerves were jangling
And your tummy wouldn’t settle,
We knew once you took it to task
You’d conquer that bit of metal.
Emergency stop,turn in the road,
Highway Code a doddle.
And you should be proud of yourself
The examiner didn’t mollycoddle.
Now at last you’re up there
With the favoured rest.
You can throw away the L plates
Now you’ve PASSED your test.....
But just a word of caution;
Before you set off into the blue,
Remember the road’s not a race track
And we’re fond of every bit of you.—
Well now you’ve got the green light,
It’s go ahead,action stations!
Grab the wheel,use your head and your heart,
And once again DRIVER congratulations.




I wrote this for a friend who passed their test.

Doddle- very easy
Mollycoddle- be gentle with

Ahh!! That is a good one for a youthful driver. I have seen here that some of the young people are not quite as anxious to get their driver's license when they turn 16 but are waiting until 17, 18, 19, or 20 some even longer. Our grandson said that he was anxious about getting out there because of careless drivers, etc. Sara

My granddaughter just passed her test so this is something I want to share with her. It is crazy, but when 60's and 70's music comes on, I immediately turn into a teenage driver, invincible and fast. nice.
