Speedy Reg sold me a personalised plate
I put it on my car
I really thought it was rather great
So I drove really far
I drove for hours I drove for miles
I was having so much fun
My plate turned heads, I raised some smiles
the day was nearly done
I was totally thrilled and overjoyed
At what my plate had cost
But then my mood changed to annoyed
I realised I was lost
So my tale it has a warning
When you get your brand new plate
Keep an eye on where you’re going
Or you’ll end up very late
As you can see, poetry certainly isn’t a huge strong point here at Speedy Reg, I don’t think we’ll be giving up the day job to become poets any time soon, but we’ve had fun having a go and at the moment, a little fun distraction can do the world of good. So with it being World Poetry Day, why don’t you have a go at writing your own poem? It could be about your friends or family, your work or even your car!
If you’re not feeling inspired to write poetry, then how about reading some instead? Reading or reciting poetry can be very relaxing! Sometimes a touching poem stays with you for life. Do you have a poem that means something special to you? You could share your favourite poems on social media so others can enjoy them too!
