Jean Murray Poet Rhyme

Road Race

Soft and comfy my padded seats.
You cater to my pleasure needs.
Like a Morris Traveller meets
classic style and a certain speed.

Your old fashioned gear stick.
In the middle at the front.
Easy to sort out and fix.
Well able to take the brunt.

After a hard climb to the top.
Smoke billowing from the breaks
Then I must shout STOP!!
In case we make the mistake

of thinking we might climb again.
Oh no, not tonight my friend.
The radiator may be drained.
This road journey had better end.

Seosamh De Burca September 26, 2016 at 5:02 PM Enjoyed the innuendo in your poem as well as the humour, or maybe that's just my bad mind again, enjoyed the journey and laughs. Jean Murray September 26, 2016 at 6:09 PM I did have a Traveller and loved it. Stripping things back to basics usually works for me Seosamh.

Pashang Salehi September 19, 2016 at 8:22 PM Take me with you Jean, I need a brand new car I am tired of my old Rambler...... Jean Murray September 20, 2016 at 2:50 AM Jump in Pashang, my top is down! I would like nothing better than your company on one of my summer jaunts in rural Donegal in my Peugeot convertible.
