The Ballad of Demolition Dave

Currently I am helping to write a children's book in my free time. One excercise attempts to teach children the meaning of the word "crash."

I penned this little ditty which makes me smile. I hope you enjoy it.

The Ballad of Demolition Dave

There once was a driver who earned lots of cash,
In Demolition Derbies, many cars he did crash.

His amazing moves made the audience gulp,
as he smashed rival fenders into mangled steel pulp!

One day he was challenged by Sideswipe Sue.
"Dave, I'm coming to crash into you!"

In the championship theirs were the last cars left.
Dave drove east, Sue went west.

Turning around they drove straight at each other,
going the scary speed of 100 miles per hour.

The cars came together in an amazing crash!
When the dust cleared, both cars were trashed.

The audience gasped, Dave and Sue were nowhere to be found....

They were both up in heaven, on clouds looking down.
