A Poem about the car..

I was recently asked to write something around the theme of 'cars'
Here's what I came up with...
Dashes to Ashes
Rust to Dust
A prayer for the
horseless carriage
From construction line
to my garage.
A money pit of
service and repair
Conveyor belt of cost
financial nightmare
All for convenience
for our own ease
The chocking fumes
Brings us to our knees
And now something new
pulls into our view
Weapon they've become
a new mobile gun
Auto-mobile abattoir
death on the road
A new van hire
and death is the load
Dashes to ashes
Rust to dust
In 1769 Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot of France arguably invented the first full-scale, self propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile. It was a steam-powered tricycle.
In 1807 Nicéphore Niépce and his brother Claude are believed to have built the world's first internal combustion engine.
The Benz Patent-Motorwagen is believed to be the first modern automobile. It was built in 1886 by German inventor Carl Benz.
In 1892, Rudolf Diesel a German engineer invented a "New Rational Combustion Engine" which lead him to building the first Diesel Engine in 1897.
As automobiles became more popular a need arose to manufacture affordable cars on a large-scale basis. Ransom Olds in 1902, debuted a production-line manufacturing system at his Oldsmobile factory in Michigan, USA.
Henry Ford's Model T car, introduced in 1908, is often regarded as the most famous of all early automobiles. It was the first car to become publically affordable, especially after Ford massively improved the production-line manufacturing system.
In 2010 it was estimated that there were over 1 billion vehicles in the world, up from half a billion in 1986. The number of cars on the road continues to increase rapidly year on year especially in developing countries such as India and China.
Fully autonomous vehicles (driverless cars) currently exist in prototype (Google has developed a driverless car). These cars are expected to be available commercially around the year 2020. Autonomous cars could help to reduce the amount of vehicles needed on the road and dramatically increase safety
International Beatles Day.
