My Car Repair Bill

Dear car repair man received your bill of Friday last Need I say when I read the sum it really made me gasp The price of parts and hoses made up less than half While the labour that you charged me that really made me laugh The sum in total tallies twice what the car is worth Even when the makers first produced its birth I took my car to you for a tune-up and that squeak You looked at it kicked the tyres said I could have it in a week Now that old car it bumped and groaned but it usually got me there Though at times I called it nasty names and sometimes I would swear I know the paint is chipped and cracked the upholstery ripped and torn But the radio it works just fine and it has a special horn The tyres hold the air okay and the smoke is not that dark And it usually gives a little sigh when I put it into park I'd be sad to see the old bomb go it's really been a mate Its been around for so long now I can't recall its date I know it's not a new car and it has served me well But rather than pay your outrageous bill Why don't you drive it straight to hell
