Car trouble, car trouble

when will it end?

Shocks, struts, belts and hoses

aren’t exactly my bed of roses.

Steering suspension and battery

haven’t been good friends to me.

Headlights burn out or fall off.

certainly not because of my sloth.

Brakes are always questionable,

but my bank account still isn’t full.

Oil needs changing.

The radiator’s leaking.

By now my heart is breaking.

The cost of it all sends mE reeling.

Who cares that the paint is peeling?

Automobile repair bills worsen

when labor costs add to the burden.

Pay up now, then down the road.

be prepared to stay in the paying mode.
