Vanguard Ute

Carol Brown
Contest Name	My First Car 
Vanguard ute I got meself a motor car, a little ute, a Vanguard, I was seventeen, yes sah, low flying and sliding here and there, Me an brother Mark were a going fishing, At 75 miles an hour, I hit a hi speed bend, Feet of water lurked in a dip, unwitting, It did us airborne send, Flying on a cushion of water, Guide posts were a flashing by, Fascinating sort of, sorta, Slow motion with a sigh? After 50 feet we finally touched down, Me brother wouldn’t bloody speak His forehead held a frown, 50 miles an hour, how neat, No he didn’t dob me in, Old car was still orright, So then I took him sideways, On a corner, not in spite. I was young and stupid, Much older now Kanga Roo Ted… Young n stupid flying low, big ol thrill 4 johnson though, having fun an sliding so, me mates would not come a driving:)
