Analysis of The Adventures of Austin Healy



There once was a boy called Austin,
who bought a new car that cost him.

His new ride was ace,
It brought a smile to his face.
As he sped round Kirkaudy,
With a young man named Claudie.

But oh Austin had forgotten,
When the police finally caught him.
to give his folks reassurance,
and take out car insurance.

Now he's in jail,
And Kim won't post bail.
Just how will he cope,
with that slippery soap?
