Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be

Oh! Dear! What Can The Matter Be Oh Dear! What can the matter be; Can my flat tyre any flatter be? Now I'll have to call out the RAC For an emergency repair. Oh Dear! Now what can the matter be? I think I have flattened my battery. I only have to go from A to B, I don't think I shall be there! Barry Stebbings 14/4/2016

This poem makes me feel like me, trying to do things makes my brain hurt. Enjoyed reading, Barry.

Barry, thanks for sponsoring such a fun to enter contest. Seeing the remarks of my fellow poets, I know competition will be stiff.
