About the Poem

This is a poem about a dad's bad driving which is really good to recite, particularly on a long car journey when dad is driving. The poem is especially funny for kids that have an interest in 1980s cars, which I know sadly won't be too many of you.

Mr Toad

Our Dad's a dreadful driver,
We call him Mr Toad.
He thinks he's superhuman,
Whenever he hits the road.

But yesterday disaster struck!
Swerving to avoid a 10 ton truck,
He crashed into a Morris Marina
And now our car's a Ford Concertina.
