The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Mechanic’s Lament

Your car that once was trusty,
has become a thing so crusty,
combustion, once internal,
is something now infernal,
carburettors cough and sneeze,
transmission’s on the freeze,
the oil has gone all lumpy
and suspension’s something bumpy.
