Two cars stood shiny and new
one in red the other in blue
one fast, sporty and red
the other electric instead
Sporty red car said......
Liquid fossils are found
deep beneath the ground
their spirit I thank
to fill up my tank
Blue car replied......
Windmills at sea
generate power for me
electricity by the kilowatt hour
my battery to empower
Sporty red car said......
By cylinder, piston, rod and crank
fuel is sucked from my tank
it ignites with an exhausting sound
my crank rotates round and round
Blue car replied......
Those invisible scamps
volts and amps
make my rotary action
by magnetic attraction
Sporty red car said......
There are six gears in my box
synchromesh avoids any blocks
my gear changes are very swift
made by electronic quick shift
Blue car replied......
A reduction gear is all I need
to achieve any speed
Sporty red car said......
My exhaust makes a pleasant sound
for which the car is renowned
my exhaust has a pleasant hue
a nice shade of particulate blue
Blue car replied......
My exhaust does not exist
not even the faintest mist
Sporty red car said.......
I do not wish to be unkind
but on a long trip you\'d be left behind
your kilowatt hours would show blank
I would have fuel left in my tank.
Blue car replied......
Blue is my colour to be seen
but I am also very green.
