Broken
Once I owned a flivver,
A green VW,
Some things seemed to work,
Most had gone askew.
The lights sometimes went out,
When driving in the dark,
And the wipers stuttered,
As they traced their arc.
It was worst in winter,
When the heater gasped it's last,
But now I have a car that works,
And that one's in the past!
