“My Shiny New Car”
My paint is scratched, dirty and marred.
My seats are torn and the tires bald.
My engine needs oil, my tires air.
My tanks take a lot, just to get me there!
It moans and groans, runs a little hot.
The windows are cracked, but not a lot!
The shocks are worn and the headliner torn.
My car lights up, when I blow the horn.
My timing is off, my fenders are dented.
My radio works and smells pine scented,
The girls are not crazy, about its looks!
The mechanic said, I think you’ve been took.
I tried to return the car you see!
The Dealer said, “I’m busy don’t bother me!”
It’s old and ugly, quicker then a bus.
Thanks to the talent of a man named Gus.
She is over mileage, past her prime.
That shiny new car, she’s all mine!
