My father never even wore boots neither am I interested cars, motors, engines or bikes but I was inspired. What exactly inspired me I cannot recall. Hope you enjoy this unusual poem from me x


Image Description

An abandoned rusting car covered in dust, with the windows smashed in a dark garage.

I am a renegade


I am a rebel


I am an anarchist


I love anything with an engine


I can't be tied down


No one understands my struggles


I was born in a garage


Between a 1700 Suzuki and a classic convertible


I can't be tamed


I was fixing bikes before I could talk


I was doing wheelies before I could walk


I nursed engine oil from my father's boot


Yes I am a motorhead through and through
