THANKFUL FOR OUR CAR
Living in the country
It is hard to survive…
Without transportation
Or a car to drive,
Getting her to appointments
Is easier by far,
When I can be her chauffeur
In our own car!
–
I’m thankful we can still afford
The little bug we own,
It’s always nice to have a friend
Who’ll get us all the way home…
I get to work most easily,
How much the city cost!
Sure glad we had a place to go
By the time that we were tossed!
–
I’m thankful for an auto shop
That lets me pay o’er time,
It cost a lot more this year
To which I am resigned…
Several hundred dollars
We still owe the man,
But hope we can go home this year
And pay him off, as planned.
–
It’s disconcerting to not trust
The wheels underneath,
We still need the rear brakes done
On our trusty steed…
Might have to wait until the time
When we can pay some more,
I’m cashing out vacation time
To settle this open score.
