Unaffordable, yet valiant speeding, 
tailgating, and zooming Pep Boys, I cannot dodge. 

Yours truly grief stricken
(sob... sob... sob)...
wheely hard to bear

Create a universe with space,
and stars and suns, then planets.
Add some life and watch it grow;

With outstretched knives and chives
Fumble and mumble
