Sweet Sugar

sweet tasting sugar 
the icing 
on the cake
darling been out 
almost all day
fixing the car
lost complete power 
coming up 
a hill

falling speed 
to ten mile 
an hour 
we striped 
down the turbo 
nothing wrong 
then ran into
the town 

to get a new 
filter and some oil 
because like 
an idiot 
i did not 
check it 
in a while 
silly clown 

i thought to myself  
just shaking 
my head disgusted 
with a big red nose
what the hell 
is wrong 
with me 
not thinking 
of checking 
the oil 

as i always do 
ended up 
after quite a few
hours of work 
it was something 
really simple 
but at least 
the car 
got a good service 

now i am 
laughing to myself 
thought all 
the time thinking 
it was something 
very serious
 
how has 
your day been 
sweetheart i covered 
everything on 
my side smiling 
missing you 
baby beautiful
with icing
