Tuesday.....Wow you look gorgeous !

Tuesday ..... The English name is derived from Old English Tiwesdæg and Middle English Tewesday, meaning "Tīw's Day", the day of Tiw or Týr, the god of single combat, victory and heroic glory in Norse mythology. Tiw was equated with Mars in the interpretatio germanica, and the name of the day is a translation of Latin dies Martis.

A couple of days ago, I published a poem I wrote about cars.
Marvellous Marjorie Lacy has contributed three new pieces. Enjoy.

My  Car.   South Shields.  (1962.)                                         

My first car was

A white Mini -

Bought second hand.

My husband said

I had to drive it

somewhere every day.

So, I took my

Two year old

Son for a ride.

He loved the Mini,

He had a pretend

Steering wheel and horn.

All was well

All was great,

Until part of the

Passenger footwell

Sprung a hole.

David in his car seat

Could peer down and

See the road going by.

Fun when dry, a

Nightmare when wet.

My husband ‘mended’

It. With sticking down a

Rubber mat and covering

It with a piece of old carpet!

So, I took my

Two year old son

For a ride!

  

Car for Sale.  Leeds 1965.

The Classified Ad read -

‘Car For Sale by recently widowed lady,

Mint condition, quick sale needed.’

I was that widow,

Young and depressed..

People came to view

The car on my drive.

I made the quick sale,

Collected the cash.

The following week,

The scenario was replayed.

My brother in law

Parked his cars for sale

On our drive for me to sell.

Week in, week out,

We did it.  in this way

We assisted him to

Begin his second hand

Car Sales business.

 Learning to drive, South Shields 1962.

Albert taught me how to

Drive. I forget now the

Name of the driving School,

But I could never forget Albert.

I found driving difficult as

an adult I cannot tell my

left hand from my right

Albert had the answer, he taped

Red tape to one side of the

Steering wheel and blue to the other.

His instructions then would  

Be ‘Red hand down a bi’, or

Blue hand down a bit’.

As we drove along the

Coast Road between

South Shields and Sunderland.

Albert had a unique teaching style,

Which I had not come across before

Or since. He used a rolled up

Newspaper to hit you over the

Head when you did something wrong.

I did not pass my test on the

First attempt, it was very

Unfortunate that I ran into

The back of the big red bus.

I did pass on my second attempt

And said goodbye to Albert,

With some pleasure and relief.

I've got some big news coming.......stay tuned....
