Gershon Wolf Poet Personification

Time For a Tune-Up

This engine needs a little tune-up
   And the oil doesn't flow so well
The battery's probably low on juice
   Check the sparkplugs -- Who can tell?

These wheels have covered a lot of ground
   Over two-hundred thousand miles
And now that the frame's started to fall apart
   ~ All that works right is my smile

Hello There December 19, 2019 at 9:17 AM It may not be running at its optimum, but the exhaust sounds like it's still in tact ;) And, hopefully, a little tune-up will help, but it's definitely not an ol' clunker ~ Keep smilin', Gershon!! That part works splendidly :)
