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
