Car Cleaned

Goldfinch60



What was I thinking?

There I was getting my car cleaned,

Why!

I rarely clean my car,

But it needed cleaning,

Cleaning before its regular clean,

Every six months.

It had only been three months

Since the last clean.

So there it was

Shining,

The crew had done a good job

As they normally did.

I drove it home,

It was strange,

I could see,

See out of the windows,

ALL of the windows.

Arrived home,

Parked it in my drive,

Showing it off,

Making neighbours jealous.

Left it there overnight

As usual

Came out in the morning,

Somebody had been jealous,

As there on the bonnet

There was bird poo,

So much poo,

Never seen as much before.

The thought went through my mind,

That’ll teach me,

Teach me not to get the car cleaned,

The car cleaned earlier than usual.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I had to clean the bird poo off the car myself! The video is quite long but worth looking at as this is what improvisation is about.

      I know - and why do some people sweep leaves away every 5 minutes, when they know there are more to fall? If making a mess, make a big mess, make it worthwhile?!

        Don't know about England, but here they say getting hit by bird poop is good luck! I always wanted to be rich enough to just buy a new car when the old one gets dirty. Never happened though. The getting rich I mean, not the dirty car.

          Yes it is supposedly good luck but I still waiting for that windfall of money, it hasn't come yet and all I am left with is bird poo!
