Dale the Brave

My life flashed before my eyes as I sat in the driver’s seat
I clung to the wheel for dear life
my face was as white as a sheet

Would this brave man named Dale 
live to tell the tale? 
Had he written out a will 
Drafted Out in great detail ?

I was petrified you see
But he had confidence in me 
His fantastic sense of humour 
Acted as a diffuser

He calmly talked me through it 
With the patience of a saint 
How he coped I’ll never know 
As Michael Schumacher I ain’t!

He had a scientific brain
And as we drove he would explain 
Tell me random facts and stories
As we ventured through welsh lanes 

Now I really can’t deny
That one manoeuvre made me cry
But with his tolerance and charm 
My frustration he did disarm 

When I finally passed my test
His relief was well expressed
He turned my life around
Now freedom I have found
