Eyes Out Sockets For Budging Pockets

For the unusually bulging pockets,
Eyes pop out of their sockets:
You’d think their owners had been handed lockets
Or once again America remembered rockets!

A Mechanic whose wife floats a versatile saloon
Funnily welcoming customers with balloon; 
Perhaps, the contents of his pockets
Are to end up in a handful sprockets
Or in his wife’s interest hats feathery 
And bags or shoes leathery …

But can he have made all the money
Or a part of it the sweat of his Honey;
Fewer cars now willing to break down
For a paid servicing by Mechanic Brown.
