James May

In reply to the Telegraph article in which,
James tells us that it's a good time to buy a supercar.
Not aimed at the majority of us then!

Hello James,

"Here comes 40. I'm feeling my age and I've ordered the Ferrari.
I'm going to get the whole mid-life crisis package."
Keanu Reeves

There's an optimum time that we come to,
as we journey along in life.
When out of the blue,
an epiphany's due,
Eureka! It's goodbye to strife.

We realise that it can be our time,
and not counted as selfish or mean.
We're suddenly free,
to say "this is for me",
and feel like again, we're nineteen.

We can write off daft things as eccentric
and extravagant purchases, classy,
Attempt to get thin now,
Seen in a gym window,
Whilst trying to shape up our chassis.

Then there's the obligatory sports car.
I could only afford a Celica,
Still I love her to bits,
Wonderbra for my ..bits
Drum and bass in the speaker,
Wheels screaming,
Me beaming,
What the heck,
I'm a new pleasure-seeker!

So, my dear Mr May, take your pleasures today.
For waiting manyana could be a banana.
With your hard-worked for wealth,
Time to please just yourself.
I hope, thought provoking, a Ferrari - you're joking!
We'd all wish you the joy of a supercar toy.
See I can be quite nice, well, just once or twice. ;-)
From the slightly insane, but persistent, Elaine x
