The saddest tale I have to tell –
I know that you will cry as well,
About my battery going flat,
And how upset I was at that.
And then, next day, the second car:
When tried to start it, no cigar!
The battery there completely dead,
And so I sat at home, instead.
Today, I started down the street
When flapping sound my ears did greet;
A tyre had taken on a whim
To let the air out through the rim.
The batteries charged, a tyre repair,
But still I feel a deep despair,
So dirge in C I’ve written; that’s
‘Cause key of C has got three flats!

Well, that’s a first. I have never known a blogger actually compose a piece for a post before. Chuckling uncontrollably here.
Nice dirge, though.

I suppose not many are nutty enough to do such a thing! I could have made a better job of it, though – just threw it together so I’m NOT putting it on my player.

😆 Your major woes, which are by no means minor, are definitely worthy of a whole symphony in C minor, or even C flat major, which is the very devil to play in. 😦

For C flat major I’d have to get another couple each of flat batteries and tyres, Nothing can make a performance more flat than that!

Great idea. If they aren’t crying when they order it, they will be when they get my bill.

It cost a lot of hard labour to get the happy ending – still, I suppose that’s how fairy tales work, too.

‘Can you believe it: three flats!’ I complained. Then I said, ‘Hey!’ as the lightbulb moment happened.
