Our Car
By Maggie Walker

We bought it from a showroom, It took just half an hour, To look around the forecourt, And pick our lovely car.

It had electric windows, The steering felt so light, The seats were nice to sit in, And the colour was just right.

It was such a pleasure to drive it, Our lovely family car, With loads of room inside the boot, It even had a toe-bar.

Some person smashed into its door, And made a horrible dent, Which took some time to get it fixed, Cause the metal was so bent.

Soon it began to make a noise, And then it made a rattle, the drive shaft needed to be replaced, Which give us such a battle.

With tyres replaced and new brakes too, It run and sounded better, It cost us lots of money, So we wrote the bank a letter.

Our lovely family car we bought, Dont know if I should be tellin, Has often made me start to think, Perhaps we bought a lemon.
