Array ( [sid] => 20099 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => How to get Serviced [time] => 2003-07-07 22:35:00 [hometext] => One must be careful, when you get serviced [bodytext] => I took my car for service,
Don't think I wasn't nervous,
The estimate was vicious,
Smelled like stinking fishes.

It was up to me to tell
The techs what noise to quell.

The engine was missing, the air valve was hissing.
A tires need air, the roof had a tear.
The fuffnic pin wore, the oil needs more.
The regulator pinged, the altenator dinged.
The starter stopped and also popped.
The heater froze as did my nose.
The engine belts all had welts.
Third piston stroke was making smoke.
The rear brakes squeaked, the exhaust, it reeked.
The wipers streaked, the battery half-peaked.
The windshield leaked, the driver meeked.
And the trunk stunk.

They assured me, with a sad smile,
The car couldn't go another mile.
I had enough of their guff.
They had a nerve with such stuff.

----------OK, I quit!-----------
Please, no more this car abraide
Do me a favor, take in trade.

There's a new car, over there,
We'll take your car and we'll be fair
We'll finance making monthly pays
low enough to keep your ways.

Two days later, I returned
For deal completion and I learned
My former car was right in view
A sign thereon said, 'CAR LIKE NEW'. [comments] => 7 [counter] => 156 [topic] => 7 [informant] => norm [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

my friend the truth you speak
how they make our pockets tweak
with their tales of our cars woes
do car dealers ever go to heaven you suppose?

You know?? Your writes would have to be the best of the funniest I have read in a long time .You always make me laugh...even when you are serious.I have owned a few cars and thanks to my dad's teachings,I have always been able to service them myself.Thanks for the laughs and the title is sooo clever.

a very touchy subject here
we all carry the ironic memory
of how we were taken by some salesman
who did not have our best interests in mind.
