Hard To Handle

You've only been here four years 
But hard to handle is your way
We wanted you so much at first
Now we want to give up every day

Noises we've not heard before
Another accident down there
Now what comes from underneath
Has a smell that's hard to bear

It's so hard to fill you up
You were a chance we had to take
But you're not worth the trouble
That a used car tends to make!

G'day PAT … humour is laughing at someone else's misfortune. At times buying a used car is buying someone else's problems - well done PAT - Lindsay
