Blast from the Past
Feb. 24th, 2014 08:51 pmI was browsing through my old desktop computer at the weekend looking for an old family photo, and while I was looking for said photo, I came across this little antique.
I wrote this around 1992/93 for a friend who was a huge Formula 1 motor racing fan. She followed the Benetton team, and one day their fan club announced a writing competition, the first prize for which was tickets to that year's Silverstone Grand Prix. So she asked me to write her entry (with a promise that I'd get the other ticket!)
And this is what we submitted:
(The Michael and Damon referred to in the poem are Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill)
( Benetton Poem )
We came second!!!
