Spare Wheel Poem by Denis Martindale

Keep your eye on my little car,
Because I've customised so far,
Such that today, it's on a par,
Just like Herbie, the movie star!
It's half and half, two steering wheels,
As any close-up soon reveals...
And was one of those eBay deals...
So you must know how good that feels...

One side goes left, one side goes right,
It's quite confusing at first sight,
It's such a hoot, a great delight,
Yet not so much when dark at night...
But you should see the looks it gets...
Although, to some, it still upsets,
To me, it beats all kinds of pets...
I'm thrilled to bits, without regrets...

It can go forwards and reverse,
I just switch seats and don't rehearse...
Sunshine yellow? It could be worse...
I'm safe no matter what occurs...
So I'm concent in all it does,
Despite my neighbours and their fuss...
It's just for me, it's not for us...
So on your way! Just catch the bus!
