2025
There once was a car that didn't go far...
Causing the owner to moan as he walked his way home...
After consoling himself at the bar...
A poem it's not...
But seems that don't matter a lot...
And this is the best that i've got...
But at least it doth rhyme...
And i had the time...
Now just pour me a brandy and lime...
Note:
This was a 7 February comment i made today inth Telegraph Online in response to the car-themed winning 'poem' of the '2025 Telegraph Poetry Competition' (twas more like the first chapter of a novel really) ...
I couldn't get it to format properly, so i decided to put it here, properly formatted, also - the 'lime' bit at the end turned out to be a hint at what the first three lines are btw - a three line limerick :-) :-) :-) ...
