This is a little poem I wrote after driving for the first time this weekend.

First Time Behind the Wheel

I get into the car and 

Make sure I brought my permit.

Raise my seat closer to the wheel,

Adjust the mirrors so I can see behind,

Remember to fasten my seat belt.

I follow my dad’s instructions as

I put the car on drive

And release the brake,

Slowly pushing my foot on the accelerator.

The car inches forward,

And makes a big circle

around the parking lot.

I put the car on park.

That’s enough for today.
