The Itemized Bill

An elderly gentleman told me a story today
I just couldn't resist recreating it in rhyme
and share it with all of you. Thanks for reading




Patty loved his new Rolls Royce 
Like those he'd bought before
A grin he wore from cheeks to chin
While he made the engine roar

And each time, made his maiden drive
To his best friends home, named Finn
And honked the horn to beckon 
His dear old mate "Get in"

They rode along the country roads
With Patty at the wheel
And every turn, Finn discerned
"I like the way it feels"

But not so long, into the trip
There came a clicking noise
It steadily and readily 
Concerned both of our boys
 
"That's it, it's going back
to the dealer to be fixed"
But Finn said "Nigh, I know a Guy
He’s one that knows the tricks"

His name's McGee, and you'll soon see
He knows all there's to know
He's quite close by, and he don’t lie
It's there, we ought to go

They soon arrived, at McGee's
And they told him of the trouble
He said "Wait eer, an 'ave no fear
I'll fix it on the double"

McGee returned, with tool in hand
As Patty popped the bonnet
And there said Finn, wearing a grin
"You see,  he's got right on it"

McGee then turned a little screw
and the noise, then went away
Patty danced, reached in his pants
Asked "How much, I want to pay"

Five Hundred pounds , was the sound
That Patty heard so clear
"McGee you sure, I say what for"
Pat gazed at him and jeered

Would you like for me to itemize, I can do it now and here 
Patty said, holding his head, "It sure would make it clear" 
"It's a pound for me effort, to turn the little screw
And the four-nintynine, to know which one to do"
