London to Brighton Run Poem

The L2B 2003
It’s dark outside, time to get up
And get our outfits on
For it’s a very special day Today’s the BRIGHTON RUN!
The polish and the cloths are packed
The car inside is tidy
For hours we have worked on her
Our Smart is VERY shiny!
5.45 ~ its time to go
Speed off into the night
We meet a Smartie on the way
It’s starting to get light.
At Clacket Lane we meet more Smarties
Heading for the meet
We race along the motorway
Our Smartie ‘Tube’ complete.
We arrive at Kempton Park at last
The atmosphere’s electric
With smarts all colours, mods and tweeks
And some drivers, quite eccentric! [pay]
We’ve never seen so many Smarts
All gathered in one spot
There are 14 hundred little dears
Including ‘Polkadot’!
There’s lots of happy people here
Taking photos, chatting, preening
There’s not a grubby Smart in sight
They have been so busy cleaning!
We’re getting nervous and excited
Just preparing to depart
Red Roadster ‘6’ will lead off
Followed by a shoal of Smarts.
Its 10am and time to go
The klaxon is a sounding
A thousand Smartie hooters peep
My heart it sure is pounding!
We’re OFF! We blast off through THE START
We wave, flash, toot and shout
What a marvellous sight to see
We’re crazy there’s no doubt!
For the ordinary motorists
Amazing it must be
To spot the jolly Smarties
A racing to the sea!
Along the streets, on bridges
The people wave and cheer
As we rush along to Brighton
In time for ice-cold beer!
In Brighton, slowly travelling
In traffic stuck, we’re fine
Then cruising down Madeira Drive
To cross the FINISH LINE!
There was a bit of trouble
At Black Rock to park the cars
And the surface under little wheels
Was like the stuff on Mars!
But never mind, we did it
And boy did we have fun
So we’ll all be looking forward
To next years Smartie Run!
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
The L2B 2004
Where ever it is
We will be there
A Smartie Run
For all to share!
