You have an love of apostrophes. However they spring up in surprising
places. Firstly is your poem, and afterwards I have put a copy with
the apostrophes where they should be.

I hope you don't object to my suggested edit.

Revised:

As a driver I am an L

funny thing is that`s what the other road users seem to say as well

my driving instructor teaches me everything right

and turns an interesting shade of white!

________________-

I can start the car just like a kangaroo

my driving is comeing on in leaps and bounds it`s true

my husband could teach me,but he would rant and rave

well I ask you is that anyway for a driver to behave?

I know all about the traffic lights,red,amber,green

but my three point turn is an amazing thing to be seen

a hillstart is one thing I have done right

even if the car did screech and scream with all its might

_________________

today I said to my instuctor I`ll drive as safe as you one day as
well

then we must have passed a farmyard because Ohhh what a smell!

but all too soon my lesson is over

please can anyone tell me how can I get my instructor sober?


Second verse, second line "it's" is correct because that is short
for "it is". Third verse, fourth line "its" because "it" is the car
and "its" means belonging to the car.
