Some of you will know of W.H.Charnock, writer of motoring books and verse.
The following, written in 1951, is taken from one of his books entitled " Down in the Sumps"
C. W. & P.
I had a little axle; it gave me four point five,
The wind sang sweetly past my ears, my motor was alive;
I thought "This is terrific - I've only one desire -
"I'll go a little quicker if I gear a little higher."
I have a little axle; it gives me four to one,
My life is spent on second, my motor gets no fun,
And traffic is a torment and climbing hills a pain;
I wish I had my four point five to drive me once again.
