There's a light on, on my dashboard
I've not seen that before,
I don't know what the light means
the manual's in the drawer.
That light is quite annoying
with it's constant warning flash,
I need to find a garage
not sure I have the cash.
Ah! this place looks quite friendly
I'll pull in here and ask.
"Well yes " the kind man told me
"it's nothing of a task".
The man was very patient
he never shouted once.
Thank God he never charged me
now I can buy my lunch.

most of my poetry is written on the spur of the moment ,in response to a situation or particular emotion, so it usually starts out life on scraps of paper or backs of envelopes. Once committed to paper I never change anything. This poem was written as a challenge from a friend to sit down and write a poem in 30 mins about anything.
