Gotta have cadence 
The first one was especially clever. Well done to the author. Or is that poet?

I'd tell you who wrote the VW A-Z at the top but modesty prevents me :-)
Do all the 'VW things' in the A-Z make sense to everyone? The 'X' was particularly hard to find, and rhyme. It was actually 'Franz Xavier
Reimspeiss' - the young engineer who drew up the first VW engine for Ferdinand Porsche in the 1930s. He also designed the famous VW symbol. So using
him for 'X' is a bit of a cheat but it worked out well.
The Old Skool one is not a bad start, but yes you need to do some work to make it rhyme, and give each line the right 'metre' (poetic rhythm, or
syllables per line). It would also annoy fans of modern VWs...
