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.

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.

I did have a Traveller and loved it. Stripping things back to basics usually works for me Seosamh.

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.
