Before You Take It Home Poem by Raimi Babatunde

Beautiful cars, barren engines
Whose fault, the maker or user?
Before you take it home, test run
But first, can you afford it?
Some come in small sizes
But with thick engines
Do you have the heart?

Note, while testing
Never exhaust your fuel
You'll need it thereafter
Lest you be stranded for eternity
Can you even drive for five minutes?
If you are coming on board
Make sure your hands are clean

You know it's tender
So proceed with caution
You have to start from the periphery
And gradually work your way in
Beware of cars with flat tyres
It's a big red flag
Don't say I didn't tell you

Wait a second!
Are you sure you've got wad?
To be able to maintain the vehicle
Because as you grind and drive
You need to be servicing constantly
Is your leg even long enough?
Enough to touch the throttle?

Some are just scrap oh
Don't judge by the container
Even in blogging content is king
Check out for leaky exhaust and gasket
Once you have the balls
And your gear is potent
Please enjoy the ride
And welcome to fatherhood
