Master Mechanic

I like to sit and watch them boys Tinker with their toys Hood up, hands grimy Sweat pouring down handsome faces Oil spots in weird places I like to sit and watch them work with a master’s poise Those car loving boys I love to watch them gently O p e n a portion of their hearts Brave Chiseled faces soften Polishing seldom seen chrome smiles and illuminating smarts And every so often If bad enough, rusty rim spots I enjoy Witnessing the Magic of mechanics Gazing at the devotion streaming From ignitions, and the spark Plugs closing the world off It’s just him and his baby He knows what’s wrong by the sound of her voice When she chokes or when her axle will give out Lover’s intuition Propping open her chest and knowing Where her nerves are, and how to touch her just right A mechanic knight on a mission A twist here, a yank there A closer inspection A poke, a dusting, A little loving Some gentle scrubbing The excitement when she finally purrs Like a Tiger Sleek and shiny Curvaceous and Dangerous When at her best So for the Rice Boys with a Mitsubishi Eclipse The restored Mustangs or project whips The Homeboys Lowridin’ Hydraulics jumpin’ , bass pumpin’, mind grindin’ Cadillac Macks with wood grain and leather Or those Bad Boys with Harley’s that can go in any kind of weather sugar sweet cowboys with pick-up trucks Rich boys with Jaguars that like to get crunk Papi Chulos with SUV’s Shot gun is where I want to be Mm, Baby, imagine it Ain't you badder than bad? With the stereo blasting our favorite song Darkest Tint, sunglasses on Your two favorite Ladies by your side Slick I promise I will never get jealous or act suspicious I’m fine being the mistress as long as he has the patience understands my high maintenance And , for sure that he knows how to Make MY engine Roar
