Poem for Eric

The wrong fool - sorry fuel (note: Eric filled his truck up with diesel one evening instead of petrol, splutter, splutter. These kindly verses commemorate this event).

Oh a motoring I will go

A motoring I will go

It's really quite super

Now I've got a Trooper

I'm really in the know

I can tell left from right

I can tell black from blue

It's really quite simple

To spot a mole from a pimple

I'm one of the lucky few

There's dinosaurs in the field

There's elephants in the sky

And way over there

Is a petrol station

Oh me! Oh me! Oh my!

Disasters come

And disasters go

I'm normally as quick as a weasel

But I have to admit

I'm now in the shit

I can't tell PETROL

From Diesel.
