Accident number 1
Small blue car
full of children
Austin A 35
compact strong
Coming down a country road
Billy at the wheel
good driver
us children tired cranky wild
Adrian in the front aged six
Austin aged nine in the back
seatbelts unheard of back then
a country road winding down
Adrian suddenly leaps back
Billy lets go of the steering
turned round to catch his son
Small blue Austin A 35 slams
Through the hedgerow falls
Rolls upside down silent shock
I hear my voice calling mammy
We end up upside down silent
in the green grass field damp
I find the window handle turn
open the glass crawl out then
walk in shock three miles home
