It’s too small, that bay, it just won’t fit,
My reversing is just not up to it.
Cannot get in there, it’s much too tight
Can’t seem to get the angle right.
It doesn’t matter how hard I try
It’s no good, can’t park I sigh and cry;
To get in that space is a bit of a squeeze,
Need to find a space much wider, please.
Backwards, forwards, up the path,
Parallel parking~you’re having a laugh!
My car is an oblong, not a square
Can’t figure out how to get in there.
Oh I admit it, I really cannot park
If I can’t judge the bay lines, I’ll leave my mark.
I’ll take a drive around the block
To avoid an inevitable twang or knock.
A multi storey makes me dizzy
The pay and display are always far too busy.
It’s no four wheel drive or even a giant
But I struggle to park in my Robin Reliant………..
