The Car
Where does the money subtly go?
every month it simply disappears;
a bit here, forth to and fro
a bit there too, oh! my dear!
My ciggs' are under much control
they don't tax me a hundred fold;
i can't believe the things i've sold
so where in fact, does the money go?
Just yesterday the price of fuel went up
petrol's hike is understood;
i can accept this much enough
i also spend on drinks and food.
i buy a shaver once a month
that's normal, it keeps me very smart;
even loans i get, is put up front
i don't eat pancakes or even tarts!
My shoes are only bought once a year
they last me thru' the harshest time;
my socks and buttons are all not dear
my budget should suit me very fine.
So then i look into the bucket list
lo! and behold! the car repairs;
they weigh a ton, i cannot miss
all used up once, that seems unfair.
So now i know where the money goes
it's maintenance and much of car parts;
no more mystery, the money flows
away from me, that breaks my heart!
