Oh how I shall miss my island car!

3 different shades of blue
A lil grey primer & a dent or two
It's worn out tires, missing head liner & busted mirror
Never failed to start even as the oil got thinner
Water pump whistling was soon replaced
As the mechanic, I thought it was aced
But soon after my brakes gave out
And now the radiator is a gushing spout
Just when I concede to more repairs
The roof starts leaking causing my despairs
I realize its now a junk yard I must seek
Slowly a tear runs down my cheek
Good bye my dear friend, you, I shall miss
Hope my next one gives me as much bliss

Get the brakes fixed - Marine-Tex the radiator and roof and keep it for another few years!

Hey, it's pretty fancy if it had primer on it!

Yeah, I really wanted to fix it! But was reminded the fuel pump is busted & needs a new front end work on top of the rhyme troubles *sigh*
