September 12th, 2019...12:00 p.m.

inspection/ emission finally possible

but...hopes dashed to smithereens

August thirty first

two thousand nineteen shortly past,

no matter 2009 Hyundai Sonata at long last

scheduled with ample funds

checking account blitzed

now back home

(Highland Manor apartments)

absolute zero money left cents lessly gassed

exhale incomplete sigh of relief

cuz necessity to dodge fast

escaping deafening police

ear splitting siren blast.

Congenial customer service

representatives at CJ's tire,

and automotive dutifully require

loose fender securely attached,

but hood latch replacement more dire,

thus postponing mechanic

to affix inspection sticker,

no matter old one did expire

once again driving on borrowed time,

cuz both driver and passenger front tire

plus rear right TPMS metal sensor

re: passenger rear tire

malfunction functionality

hoop fully explains this wire.

Your truly uber verging wreck,

no complaints regarding trained tech

very competent mechanic

even for peripatetic pluperfect prospect

reference I recommend unsolicited

advertisement plus aye inject

relieving anticipatory anxiety

oh yes, said vehicle

in good hands absolutely correct,

no matter sucker punch

to checking account

doth severely affect

mine psychological aspect.

More legal (zooming) tender

zaps lion's share of this thrifty spender

wannabe, which cruel tread full fate

unquestionably, ostensibly invariably...

every year without fail doth render

finding me in poor house

desperate to pray divine

rolling rocker alms lender

whether he.she major criminal offender,

nor no preference regarding gender.

Fat/slim chance

wishful fantasy will become true

escapist mindset bolsters

this hen pecked forlorn rue

stir standing glum within

long fostered, and winding queue,

this dirt poor dude intuitively knew

bubblegum, toothpicks and glue

holding psyche intact turned hue

man into sad sack... boo hoo

minus auto body work

undertaken by trained

heavy metal punk ken cutting crew.
