Don Johnson Poet Rhyme

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:)
