Nick's Poetry Corner

THE BATTLE

I thunder down the motorway
In my scarlet car
And I am just a lad again
Determined to go far

I’m dreaming of the desert
Of battles won and lost
And how we will prevail today
No matter what the cost

We’ve fought and won there in the past
So why not again today
We’ll just have to stick together
In the truly British way

We reach our destination
And now I’ll have to park it
But it’s so hard to find a space
At Tesco’s Supermarket
