Ode to my Car

Written as an exercise in iambic pentametre for a 'poetry' course I took.

Ode to My Car

I have a car, it's small and cheap to run;
I drive it fast, 'specially when I'm late!
I like to drive; I think it's really fun,
But paying for the fuel is not so great.

Let's not forget the speeding fines so steep.
To drive slow I must really try, because
A date with court I do not want to keep!
The judge I'm sure he would not give applause.

But I must drive, I cannot stop you know.
It's like a craving in my very soul!
So, at a lower speed I'll try to go;
Without my car I doubt that I'd be whole!

The lesson to be learned today from this,
Is driving brings me to a state of bliss.
