Poorly Car

On the way to work, my car became ill.

I thought to myself, heck, it's another bill.

It was spluttering and losing power,

and didn't want to drive another hour.

Well, I called out the man in the orange van, 

and said, 'Please help me, if you can?'

He said you are low on fuel and I said, 

It was in there before I went to bed.

__________

It turns out, my fuel gauge was giving me the wrong reading, and I was low on fuel,

so I sat down on the stool.

Lucky for me, he had some fuel in his van,

in his little green can.

In future, I'm not looking at that gauge, I'm going to fill my car to the top, twice a week,

else I will shriek.

Fingers crossed, tomorrow, the car runs well,

and I don't hear an alarm bell.
