O Mechanic, My Mechanic

O Mechanic, My Mechanic

"Lubricate your engine regularly,"
my handsome mechanic said with a wink.
He offered to 'check my spark plugs' for me -
By then I was swooning – I couldn't think.

"There are a few keys to long engine life -
keep the oil full, if you know what I mean!
Replace your throttle body - avoid strife.
And make sure your carburetor is clean."

"Also, don't let your engine overheat"
impossible when he's so very near.
Then he suggests that he lube me – how neat!
And he checks my coolant level, oh dear!

From now on I'll take the car for repair,
I tell my poor husband - it's only fair!
