        A CAR’S NERVOUS SYSTEM
If a car has a liver, a heart, a nose, arteries and a need to go,
It must have it’s own nervous system somewhere on show,
That would include, lights, brakes and indicators as well,
The steering and the springs might in that category dwell.

Any car owner knows when the car suddenly gets a twitch,
Just like us when we get a rather difficult peculiar itch,
I’ve talked about the indicator fluid that goes all awry,
But brakes and lights are the same, I’ll tell you why.

You can see cars that seem to have no brakes at all,
At changing lights they go through even if we call
And wave a fist, the car’s brakes nerves are quite shot,
No way does it have the ability to stop on the spot.

Some cars springs go to sleep and you feel every bump,
When the journey’s over you want to give the car a thump,
But take it to the car shrink to see why it sleeps so easily,
To help the car will last let it take a cause of special therapy.

It’s the lights that are the problem, cars play tricks you see,
When you think one light may not be working properly
And you get out to take a look they are all shining bright,
Then a policeman spots you, you get a fine for no light.

Some cars have a will of their own as I once found out,
It steered me to a place I didn’t know and I did shout
At my car, telling it I was in charge and not her at all
When I went to start the car again the UJ’s off did fall.

A total nervous breakdown because I told her my mind,
So everyone remember to your car always be sweet and kind,
Never shout at them or kick them, but treat them with care,
And pray that you don’t have a temperamental one, with a flair.
