FETTLE THE METAL

There comes a young lad from abroad.
He wants a car but can’t afford.
So he gets scrap metal
And this he does fettle.
Then calls it a Honda Accord. 

He took it out for a test-run.
At first this seemed to be great fun.
But in metal he fettle 
The welding was brittle.
Suddenly it all came undone.
