Cool

I wrote this for Volvo- did they take notice?

I doubt it, it's just coincidence :

My life is different now that I'm disabled & retired
'cause my brain and body it seems aren't always together wired
the result is that I now often take a fall, sometimes just a sway
How I manage to get by some days, well I just can' t say

No difference from the old days & meetings of the Table Round
When after a good night out I was often found sprawled upon the ground
And unable to perform those nights as someone would really have liked
So once a month I was banished with a grumpy 'on yer 'effing bike'

But funny as it may very well seem to some
With driving there is no obvious symptom
And in a Volvo we all feel so safe & sound
Much more than any other cars, pound for pound

An XC is all the craze with mums taking kids to school
And I also find it a very useful tool
Especially in the land of Denmark
Where live my grandsons their mum and my son Mark

For in Scandinavia in winter cars can slip & slide
And on some of the roads that aren't so wide
Confidence comes from a four by four , with no glitches
And with a Volvo you won't end up in the ditches

So Volvo is my car of choice
and where ever I can promote them I'll will use my voice
But why is there such a limited number
Available to Motability I wonder

Is it 'cause of depreciation
Or 'cause the Volvo is from another nation
Is it just the very high price they pay
That leaves Motability forced to say

Volvo is the car of choice for so many
But if there's to be profit any
To run this scheme for those needing mobility care
Unfortunately we have to set our eyes else where

So, If it is just the price Mr. Volvo then
Perhaps a rethink is now due, when
Lowering prices, especially for those in dire need
Would be a very good PR move indeed

'cause I know a bunch of potential disabled users
Some of whom really are great big bruisers
But as they cannot safely get in a V40 , banging their heads they shout
'Mr. Volvo we need something a little higher just to get in and out '


Sorry it's just part of the treatment OR perhaps it's the meds ????
