You know the way you take the car
In just to change a plug –
‘Without new engine, won’t get far,’
The mech says with a shrug,
‘The chassis, too, if I were you,
I really would replace,
And you need all new tyres too –
This lot are a disgrace!
Upholstery, I clearly see,
Is very badly torn,
And it now does appear to me,
As I am sure you will agree,
Transmission’s badly worn!’
Today I went to doctor for
A script to be renewed:
Before I’d come back out the door,
My bod had been reviewed –
The details may yet follow
Should the suffering recede,
It really beats me hollow
How profusely I can bleed!

These doctors have to keep the wolf from the door, Col. Nothings as simple as it should be these days. 😦
