Away In a Garage

Away in a garage My car felt alone. And she was frightened Wanting to come home. She has a phobia Of mechanical men. She will break down If she sees them again! Like doctors to humans, Apprehension's within. Though they're there to help us They get under our skin. My car was so frazzled She was shedding her paint! If she were a person I'm sure she would faint. But after persuasion A service was done... This time next year This will have begun.

Mechanical men… love it… if only Arnie came back to fix cars. I know that’s not what you meant, but it gave me a giggle. I don’t see why cars shouldn’t fear the spanner man as we fear the tooth doctor. Congrats on your win, Natasha. Terry
