A Vehicle

A personal  egg vehicle
Akin to the shell of a snail
That floats on air
Moving at its whim
A flying machine with no engines
That glides with just the driver inside
A new form of travel
A new form of vehicle
The downside is its delicate nature.
It stops moving when cracked
And the driver just dumps it
And a replacement is provided
It’s of light material, it’s cheap
It’s within everyone’s means

So hop on and dream
Dream that this is true
No it’s not!
Just an artist’s impression
And some wild imaginations!

After thought ( prompted by comments)
It doesn't run on gas. Power is in the form of edible tablets taken orally by the driver before embarkation. Movements and acceleration are through mind control.

  9. Very vivid imagination. If we could all get around that way, wouldn't the planet be a lot more healthy too :)

  10. It suggest dreams to me too...but never in my wildest would I have thought of eggs as alternative forms of transport. If only we could.......
