Tank or tailpipe?
There was a man lived down my street
who felt unease about pollution.
Ashamed to see his car excrete
bad air, he found an odd solution.
Others who had thought thus far

Lying about past lives

My Automare
You truly are my automare

Ropey tyres and front wheel spins
These are a few of my least favourite ...
