Random Poem About F1. Enjoy!

Post by TomPryce »

There's not really much about Formula One
One minute the car is there, then it is gone
Each team fields two cars, adding up to eighteen,
With engines so quiet so the sport can be green.
They line up in duos on start-finish straight,
With penalty fines if you then rock up late,
The spectators all hope that there will be a crash -
Perhaps Maldonado will be typically brash?
Then it's off as the red lights depart from the sky,
Each driver just hoping that the track stays dry
And this goes on and on for at least two whole hours -
What could we give for a few April showers?
Remembering a Welsh sporting hero. Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.

Rather unlikely as it is currently May.

But a beautiful epic piece of literature there. Keem 'em coming!

We'll be fine. It's Canon, non Kodak.

Dallaras aren't rejects though, and neither are any of their drivers. Also Osellas have not always been blue (for example, the famous FA1L was not blue), so i suggest to use Life and Rial, as there is no mistake there.

I know, there's no arguing with poetry...

The Bellasi was red. It would make a more effective substitute than Life as it keeps the poem in the same metre as it already is with "Dallaras". Then again, I'm not sure if the poem is supposed to only be referring to Italian constructors (Bellasi was Swiss and Rial was German, so maybe they shouldn't substitute), or if it was mere coincidence.

I feel like I'm doing English in school again :P
